Live Free or Die by Having Your Face Propelled Through the Windshield at a Very High Speed

News item: New Hampshire Senate rejects state seat belt law by vote of 16 to 8.

"Today, you may hear that 49 other states have passed similar legislation," said Senator Bob Clegg, a Republican. "I happen to be proud of the fact that here in New Hampshire, we make our own decisions. If you want to wear a seat belt, you are free to do so. If you want to risk your life by not wearing one, it is not the government's responsibility to force you to."

And... New Hampshire passed a civil union law? When da Taliban hears dis, dey'll attack.

Just asking: is attempting suicide legal in NH?

Seems like it would have to be since it falls under the second half of "live free or die." I mean, if you only have two choices, and they take one away, how free are you?
