I live in a neighborhood with a 25 mph speed limit.
Nothing troubles me more overall in my neighborhood than the arrogant, selfish likely wicked and foolish people that drive by my home going 40-50 mph whenever they so choose.
Tonight I am out smoking my pipe and a car peels out of the street near by to drive by my home at least going 40-45 mph. It is just a horrible epidemic and of course, it is a product of the self entitlement culture that permeates a lawless society of people who disavow the exactments of civility in search of their own priviledge and first place connotation of never surrendering their own heights of the heirarchical wants, desires and freeworld given right to do what they want to get ahead and get there first and be the most sought after soul in the planet at large.
Do I read this wrong or is it that the safety of others and even your self is not a priority today.
I only have to say that tonight at 5 am here, I heard that likely same vehicle screech in braking somewhere down the road. Its a nice evening here. Freezing rain and freezing temperatures. Nice slick roads. Nice time to go through a populated area at twice the legal speed. What a wonder.
The pressures of an unfriendly and unweilding place of business perhaps are the culprit in some cases. In others its just the desire to do your own choice of lifestyle and presence. And of course, noone can argue that if you really had an emergency you might be forgiven. But in truth, lets keep the speed limit.
Now I really do feel like an old man, but a kid might not like it either.
