Wait a minute - I just feel like being obstinate here!

All you Libertarians that are getting SO upset about government interferring with your lives to legislate safety - so how do you feel about seatbelts and motorcycle helmets and OSHA and smoke detectors in public buildings? How about traffic lights and yellow no passing zones? Should we have any controls over the transportation of hazzardous materials? (Or disposal of?)

Does the NFHS have the authority to force females warming up pitchers to wear a (legal) helmet/mask - but not the male players? Has not ASA decided that hot metal bats are threating the safety of the players in softball? Are they not using their power to FORCE independent American manufacturing companies to conform to their definition of what is a proper product to build and sell?
