Buckle Up, Georgia. All Y'all.

Is it really over? I didn't even know that we didn't have to wear seatbelts in pick-em-up trucks here in Georgia; we were the only state with a specific pickup exemption. The Georgia Senate voted today 49-4 to go nanny nation and require adults in trucks to wear seat belts. It will get us some federal highway funding we've been refused under the old law. I can see seat belt laws and helmet laws if medical care were covered by the government, but when we have to pay our own hospital bills shouldn't nobody get to tell us we have to be smart. New Hampshire has no seat belt law. "Live Free or Die" they say.
