The Car Seat Scam

Turns out there’s some compelling evidence that car seats are no more effective in preventing injuries to children than regular seatbelts. In fact, in some cases they are actually worse.

Fortunately, there is nobody out there who would benefit from such a pointless rule, and eventually cooler heads will prevail and we’ll change our laws to be more sensible. No siree…nobody would have any kind of vested interest in everyone running out and buying a bunch of expensive equipment we don’t need. Yep, the safeguards and intelligence built into government and market forces will ensure such a situation never occurs on a massive, entrenched scale.

Just another reason why setting up governments and consumerism (especially state government) as diety is a bad idea.

Car seats. They just feel safer.
