This rationalization is the most slippery slope of all and its logical conclusion is socialism.

Not intended to pick on you gitem, but there it is.


Since nothing anyone does is in a vacuum, that logic can be used to outlaw absolutely anything. If you accept that rationalization as valid (I don't) then chocolate cake and ice cream should certainly be illegal because obesity costs much more in medical expenses than not wearing seatbelts ever will. The argument that "it might cost taxpayers money or raise insurance premiums" can be used to justify government control of every part of your life if you stretch it far enough. That's why it's a BS argument.
