What I'd like to know is how I suddenly got branded as a person who speeds through neighborhoods endangering people's kids. Of course it's not OK to do that and I don't. I guess it was when Randy decided to kill me.
Our pal Brendon says he 'jams' people who drive through neighborhoods at speeds which he deems unsafe. Not good. What gives Brendon the right to make this decision for me? Suppose he decides that the speed limit on a particular section of road is too high, and he wants to force me to go slower than the posted limit. Is that OK because it's in a residential district? Is it more or less OK than to go 55 in the left lane on purpose because you don't want people speeding?
It's never OK to impose your will on other people against their consent, unless you're the gov't. Are you the gov't? I'm sure we can all agree even the gov't makes some bad decisions as well...
SlowT - agree with everything you say about restraint, role-models and common decency. Seems like some people shouldn't have kids to begin with I see.
Milt, thanks for the comments about the flatspotted tire!
