Let me get one thing straight before I start on this one. I believe in seatbelts because they help prevent me from getting killed in an auto accident. I’ve been using seatbelts since I was in my 20’s or 30’s before all these nanny-state laws were ever imposed on us. So, don’t mistake the following as being anti-seatbelt. I’m anti-nanny-state!
OK, get a load of this one. As a symbolic pat on the head for good little citizens following their masters directives, cops and other appointed do-gooders will be passing out dollar bills to drivers wearing their seatbelts as they travel about Bowie, Maryland. Hey I know a scam-artist we’ll refer to as “Baby Huey” who lives in Bowie, but that’s another story!
Although Maryland would be nowhere near the top of the list of places I’d care to reside, I kind of wish I could work myself into a position where one of these cops or do-gooders were trying to give me a dollar for wearing my seatbelt.
Why is that you ask? So I could tell them to shove it up their ass!
Just as I alluded to above, this is akin to giving your dog a treat for performing a trick or not pissing on the floor while you weren’t home. It’s an insult, plain and simple.
Just reinforces my thoughts about the People’s Republic of Maryland — another seething socialist shitholes like Massachusetts, New York, California and a few others.
Yeah, I know there are probably a lot of great people in that state and I feel for you. Trust me, I am originally from Massachusetts! I also realize there are probably some nice things about Maryland — natural beauty and things of that nature — but when it comes to the way that state is run, it needs a serious, serious make-over.
I would strongly encourage anyone who finds themselves on the receiving end of this stunt to tell them where to stick their dollar bill!
