Carlin was a good comedian, and I'm sorry for spoiling the joke , but I don't think everyone who drives faster than me is a maniac and that everyone who drives slower than me is an idiot, and I don;t think most other drivers think that either. Rather, I think most drivers are going roughly the same speed as I am, the "speed of the road", and the problem drivers are the ones going MUCH faster or MUCH slower. But I think I encounter a disproportionate number of problem drivers, most drivers I pass are going conspicuously slow, most drivers that pass me are going conspicuously fast, I may never encounter a driver that is going the same speed as I am even if we're not very far apart, that's the way speed works. A very similar thing can happen with internet conversations that are dominated by a few extremist loudmouths. I think I probably am more reasonable than most of the time, I think probably a lot of the people who don't comment are more reasonable also. Not because the "silent majority" agree with me, of course they don't. But I think the silent majority are a lot more moderate than the vocal minority.
