Freedom takes another victim

Snopes says it's true, so I guess it must be. Derek Kieper, a 21-year-old senior from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, wrote an editorial for the Daily Nebraskan pointing out that, by gum, brave men died for our right to drive a ton of metal at great speeds without taking the proper safety precautions, and he, for one, was not going to let an oppressive, totalitarian government such as ours tell him to wear a seatbelt.

So, when his friend's Ford Explorer slipped on an icy interstate and rolled into a ditch, what do you think was going through young Derek's mind? That's right: the windshield. Ouch.
