Science today will give anybody the result they want, if you pay them to study it.

Raymond,
That's not right. Stick to the well known journals and you'll find good, peer reviewed science. Stay away from fishy sources. It's that easy.

Daphne, Well, the first well known journal that comes to mind is The Lancet that has been spouting garbage for 30 years.

#6 - Live Free or Die! Joking aside, this is actually the fault of the US Gov't trying to force states to comply with illegal federal regulations. Back in the 80s, they tried to tie highway funding to seat belt laws and interstate speed limits. NH chose the speed limit option. It's the same reason why there wasn't (still isn't?) a helmet law in NH for motorcycles.

Leanne,
Illinois, Iowa and NH still do not have helmet laws for motorcycles.

Leanne,
Curious as to why the down votes? This is a factually correct comment. SCoTUS ruled the federal regulation limiting speed limits was unconstitutional, so Congress added additional powers to the Transportation Department with discretion on disbursing funds. The DoT gave 2 choices to states - keep the speed limit at 55mph or pass a state seat belt law. Since most states wanted to raise the limit to 65mph, they passed the seat belt law. NH has a very short interstate system. I-495 is maybe 40 miles between MA and ME, and there was very little traffic north of Concord on I-93. So they said no to the seat belt law figuring a 55mph limit on those stretches of road was not such a bad trade off.

Lot's of bullsh#t here, e.g. the right for women to vote in Switzerland was introduced 1971 (20y earlier, but still quite late...)

Vincent,
I have to apologize: I did some additional research and there was one region in Switzerland, that introduced this right in 1991. So this is not completely false, but also not completely right.

#2 That's nit right. Only women of the the Canton of Appenzell weren't allowed to vote due to regional law.

Irene,
In 1991 following a decision by the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland, Appenzell Innerrhoden became the last Swiss canton to grant women the vote on local issues; AI is the smallest Swiss canton with c. 14,100 inhabitants in 1990. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women's_suffrage_in_Switzerland
