When states started passing seat belt laws in the 1980s, a customer, who befriended me, told me that seat belt laws represented the beginning of tyranny. He said, "laws designed to control behavior always start out for our own good, but they always end up being used to oppress." He went on to say that police should not be charged with enforcing laws that are for our own good. Their concern should be keeping us safe from criminals - not from ourselves. At the time, I thought Sam was just a cantankerous old man because he always talked about how corrupt both political parties had become, and how they work together against the will of the people. He said politicians had already stopped representing the people and he kept telling me, "that's how tyranny starts; with corrupt politicians and judges that look out for each other instead of looking out for the people."
