I think that the government does have...Well said. <br /><br />I think that the government does have a part to play here. I remember when the government mandated helmets for bicycles at home. I laughed at kids who wore them and called them "Spaceballs" b/c bike helmets were really un-cool back then. I mean big, white bulging things that made you look like a Q-tip or, as said earlier, a Spaceball.<br /><br />It was not long after that an entire generation after me had grown up with bike helmets and they actually became kinda cool. Same thing for seat-belts in cars, car seats for kids, crumple zones on cars, air bags etc etc.<br /><br />Some times it takes regulation to force change and then, with the stigma removed, everyone with a brain realizes that it's better to be safe when it comes to kids. <br /><br />This leads to consumer demand and in the case of air bags and crumple zones which were not government initiatives but rather a result of free market forces serving a consumer demand, leads to innovation in the area of safety. <br /><br />As an adult I don't want to be told what to do but if it concerns kids then we all have to play along.
