Buckle up for some facts that might hit you at 100 mph: "Yes, Massachusetts is ranked 50th in seat belt use," Michael Graham writes in today's Boston Herald. "But we are also ranked 50th in highway fatalities per miles traveled." How does one make sense of this counterintuitive contrast? Could it be that people who don't take precautions know that they need to be extra cautious?

"Could it be that people who don't take precautions know that they need to be extra cautious?"

Yes, could be Rabbit. But does that matter to all of those low foreheads who want to control every facit of our lives?

As Graham also points out, they refuse to do anything about elderly drivers who don't know what peddle to push and when but will look to a non issue to excercise some control. Brave that.
