> What gives you the right to inflict an "acceptable level of risk" on others? What gives you the right to do it? Presumably you interact with people at least occasionally; how dare you expose them to pathogenic risk like that? > It gives you hours of your day siting in traffic No it doesn’t. I don’t sit in traffic for more than 15 minutes a day. Actually, the only time my commute is bad is when I occasionally have to take the train. > what about those of us who don't own a car You should probably live in a city or something. I don’t really have any input on your choices here. But I would appreciate if people who didn’t own a car wouldn’t take out their frustration on people who do own cars.
