Default Re: Speeding Cameras

"So many people suffer losses in their lives/their families lives and rather than learning to get past it they want all these laws enacted to make themselves feel better. (mom killed by drunk driver so now person goes on a crucade to have the breatalizer thing for everyone). Rather than accept responsibility with managing their emotions about this tragedy they displace it onto society. Rinse and repeat with countless scenario's where accidents and other tragedies happen across the country."

How do you know they go on their "crucade" to make themselves feel better. I know two couples who have lost a child and they started foundations. Neither has done it to make themselves feel better, they are honestly trying to help other people avoid the problems their sons had. I suppose we all do everything to make ourselves feel better, so in that sense you're right. But you cheapen and demean people who have suffered losses.

If by freedom, you mean the freedom to drive drunk, that's not freeedom.

Anyway, I'm leaving this thread now, enjoyed the conversation.
