You admitted to a fear based on not letting children out of your sight and subsequent anxiety when they are not under constant supervision. In reality I cannot know your situation. I did read what you wrote however, so I've definitely revealed something you're sensitive about far more than you admit by this comment. But you are denying that. That's fine.

Its pretty common to have to deal with Ad hominem attacks when your pushing for change so all I can hope for is you can see how much your resistance to change is hurting those around you.

  I made a statement about you made based on something you actually wrote. Quoting latin at me doesn't strengthen your argument. Nor does emotionally asserting I'm hurting people. So despite being in favor of pedestrian safe zones while simultaneously wanting sane speed limits I'm, in your mind, resistant to change. Interesting. I've seen plenty of people dead at vehicle incident scenes. Often a call in the early morning. I know exactly what the cost versus benefit really looks like. Note that I don't use the term "accident". I think I've seen a bit more than you'd expect. My dot points still stand and you haven't eliminated any of them. When I and many others got sane speed limits put in place so that people slow down around schools and nearby shops we completely succeeded no matter what you say. But nonsense speed limits that are intended only to raise revenue aren't about safety. I'm talking about examples like 5 speed limit changes within 300 metres. That's ridiculous. But that's the kind of idiocy involved. I'm resistant to bad changes and poor legislation. I sense you don't appreciate that kind of nuance and anything other than black or white is unacceptable to you.
