Flawed Logic: The All-American Sport

I used to say that the "All-American" sport was tossing trash from car windows.  Then I thought it was swallowing spoon-fed philosphy and values (without looking at the spoon).  These are still top-ranked American sports.  But now I rank them at #2 and #3 respectively.  By the way, #4 and #5 are Passing Judgement and Fantasy Football, in that order.

The number 1 All-American Sport is Contradictory Logic.

Since every police officer I've asked said they weren't. Every one said "driver distraction hazard"

While I'm in complete agreement that a seatbelt is good in a car and should be in a bus, I'm not sure being attached to a motorcycle would be a good thing in an accident.

Actually I think it would be enormously entertaining to watch motorcycle crashes with seat belts. Maybe even elastic restraints! I think we're on to something big here.
