Kelly,
  Don't be so offensive.  I did not against other things you mentioned
except may be the airbag.  I have doubts on any very expensive "safety"
device which has the possibility of KILLING.  It DID kill almost 100 people
in the States so far. The airbag sensor which trigger the explosion is not
reliable too.  Just visit the junk yard and you'll see cars totaled but the
airbag is still intact.
 There are many reasons to against mandatory DRLs.  Not to mention that you
at Canada has much less ambient lighting especially in the winter than the
US.  Just check the web page http://www.lightsout.org/.   My points is if
you want it, just turn the headlight switch on.  Why mandate it?

Why would you be against DRLs?  Unless of course you are also opposed seat
belts, air bags, turn signals, brake lights, side impact beams, etc.
