Wheeler has hit upon a problem that should be of concern to all singles everywhere - how, exactly, does the seat belt discussion fit in with net.singles? Well, here's how the seatbelt debate changed my life: I had dated a man twice, which was enough times to decide he was a jerk. I was giving him a ride home one day and requested that he wear his seatbelt (as *all* passengers in my car do). He refused, saying that he "didn't believe in them." I told him I didn't care and to put the d*mn belt on, he offered to walk, I gave in but gave a lecture on the soaring costs of insurance all the way to his house. If I had had the slightest doubts about him before, I was then convinced that he really was a jerk and not worth wasting my time on. Who knows what would have happened if I had stuck it out with him? So you see, seatbelts saved my life. And I've neatly tied it in with net.singles. Oh, by the way, it was later suggested that I should have made him ride in the back seat as an alternative to getting out (my first choice). Any other suggestions? -- --Heather Emanuel {allegra, decvax!brunix, linus, ccice5} rayssd!hxe -------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think my company *has* an opinion, so the ones in this article are obviously my own. -------------------------------------------------------------------- "Such a foolish notion, that war is called devotion, when the greatest warriors are the ones who stand for peace."
