On the contrary, seatbelts reduce the costs in medical expenses to society. Actually it was probably the insurance industry who made everyone wear seatbelts. However, they do actually save lives. If all you have to bitch about is being 'forced' to wear seatbelts, you have no problems in your life.

As to helmets on motos.. you must not get out much. The law varies across the US. Most states require helmets, Illinois, for example, does not.

Considering that the smoking issue =wasn't= handled by common courtesy shows the flaw in your plan. BTW, smoking is not equivalent to burning grass. I don't burn grass in your kitchen while you are eating, but people like to smoke in restaurants. Similarly, no one grills in a closed exercise room, while people smoke about 10 pounds of tobacco a night in clubs where people dance.

Anyway, this is way off topic.

Do you, or do you not support our government holding people w/o access to basic human rights such as trial on the =assumption= that they are merely =associated= with terrorists? Do you even care that this line has been crossed, and may easily -- more easily than your piddly example of "police state encroachement" -- lead to permanent incarceration of citizens, with no right to trial?
Pretty weighty stuff. IMHO.
