Head in the sand? Are you kidding me?
You must not have been born in NH or must have had bad teachers in school. NH has always been the center of Liberty and Libertarianism. "Live Free or Die" isn't just a trite quote. It is the foundation of these United States. NH has been the last bastion of the Revolution that created this wonderful place we live in. Government was created by our forefathers to manage infrastructure and the nation's borders. That's all, not to manage each individual American.
Seat Belts, helmets, even smoking and guns which I personally despise other people's freedom to use and abuse, are not the place for government interference. It's that simple. Liberty equals freedom and any rule or law imposed across the board just because there may be a danger if some scenario happens is a violation of each of our freedoms. Government taking responsibility to manage our lives is at the crux of the issue - government should not regulate these things and should not pay for the consequences of people who decide to do them.
