Ginger- You ever wonder how aged 50+ people made it to adulthood? No carseats, no seatbelts, metal dashboards and station wagon windows which were wide open while we hung out of them! I never had any friends when I was growing up get thrown from a car or smashed in a car. We took week long vacations in vehicles cross country and never once thought about safety. We survived with no intervention from the government and no one telling our parents how to raise us...I dont consider my parents to be no good parents, they were doing what they thought was good for us at the time.....all five of us survived....intervention is not always a good thing IMO....
