This is going to be a short diary.
The following video is of Joel Burns, whom most people here know as the Forth Worth councilman who made a very moving video of a speech he made at the council meeting about gay youth being bullied.
Last week, he lost his younger brother in a car wreck. He was not wearing his seat belt and was thrown from the truck and died from severe injuries.
The following video is of a speech that that Joel made at a council meeting yesterday. In it he tells about his brother and he also makes a passionate plea for people to convience others to wear seat belts.
I myself, lost a cousin in a car wreck because he wasnt wearing a seat belt and was thrown from the car. You can never be certain , as Joel says in the video, that they would have lived with one but they would have stood more of a chance wearing one.
The obvious pain in his voice and his face is why everyone should wear a seat belt. If you don't wear one for yourselves, wear one for the people that love you and you love back.
