Default Human Inertia, for some, change is hard. . .

1984 NBC news clip, resistance to a new federal law, change is hard people. . . especially when you rely on the past to predict the future of random events. .

by the end of your post I detect a "conspiracy" hint. your tag line is something that's been going on since man walked on two legs, had fire and developed social structures.

Reactions To Seatbelt Mandate In 1984 Sound Very Familiar - UNILAD

I remember Lee Iacocca being vehemently against seat belts, until he discovered that people wanted them, and then he championed them.

HOW IACOCCA BECAME A FERVENT AIR BAG EVANGELIST - Orlando Sentinel

Today we have people shouting "personal choice." Should we demand that laws be thrown out, because they go against our "personal choice" demand. Or, is "personal choice" granted to those who shout about it the latest?
