	I think that it is a good idea.  Id go buy the airbags and spend the
extra money because *I hate seatbelts*.  I wear them, since I am not fond
of dying either, but I keep thinking things like -- what if they cant get
me out of the car -- and various other claustrophobic variations on the
same theme.  I do know someone who was horribly burned when they were
unable to cut her out of her horribly munched pinto car a few years ago;
she survived the accident though.
	My problem with the airbags is -- how do they tell when to inflate 
the bags?  If I jam on the breaks to avoid a squirrel, cat or small child 
am I going to be up to my neck in plastic?

	Actually, in Ontario what will happen (according to Murphy's Law)
is that Dave Martindale's scheme will finally get implemented but then the
turkeys at Queen's Park will dither and dither and it will be years before
they repeal the compulsory seatbelt law which exists in Ontario...
