There were a lot more of those kids
thirty years ago than there are today.

Are there really?

Yes, there are, really.

And what in the end is the difference between a one-in-a-million
chance and a one-in-999,999 chance?

Very little. But since those aren't the odds of being killed in a car
accident with or without a seatbelt, those numbers are irrelevant. Put them
back in your ass where they were in the first place.

Personally, I have never been involved in a collision in 55 years of
driving. I faithfully buckle up every time I get in the car, but I
know in my heart that it is a waste of time. By now I must have spent
*days* of my life buckling up.

Out of how many days? I'm sure it's a teeny tiny fraction. That said, if
it weren't for the fact that your medical expenses affect my bottom line, I
wouldn't care one bit whether you wear a seatbelt or not. But that's you.
We're talking about child seats, and children really don't have the capacity
to make the judgment for themselves whether to risk their lives in that way,
even if their medical expenses didn't hurt everyone else (which they do).
