Lady, I'm not sure what your problem is. I don't like the speed humps, that is my opinion. You might be in love with them and that is your opinion. I have rules about my children playing in the street to keep them safe. Maybe you should pay for sidewalks for people to walk on. That way you won't have to worry about walking in the road where the cars are supposed to be.
I do feel that you should allow others to be entitled to an opinion without being attacked.

Thank you for stating your opinion, again. It is good to live in a country where we are free to say what we think regardless of how right or wrong it is, isn't it?. I am one of the many veterans who served in our military to help keep us free You may be too. Part of the satisfaction that I get from my service is hearing you, kittycat, annmartin, reba, Larry, and others state their opinion without fear of reprisal from the government.
In your post you stated something about rules in your protest against the speed humps. The rule is 25 mph, but the speeders don't abide by that. Consequently, another tact has to be used - SPEED HUMPS. You do not live on the speed streets - walk a mile in our shoes and then complain. Sidewalks? Sidewalks would not keep a speeder from losing control and running up on the sidewalk or into the yard like a car did last week - luckily there was nobody in the yard. And as another posted stated a month or so ago, the sidewalks would have to be built 10 feet above the road.
And speaking of who is supposed to be doing what on the road - the drivers are supposed to be driving safely observing the speed limit. They don't. Rules?
Rules? Yes, I had rules for my children too. They followed the rules the majority of the time - all the time? Absolutely not and I was never naive enough to believe they did.. I lost one of them because somebody else didn't follow the rules, not because he didn't. Rules? Rules do not always work; sometimes it takes additional measures to insure our safety. The speed humps are necessary. They are necessary because some people driving 3000 pound vehicles do not abide by the rules. And believe it or not, many of these speeders had parents who had rules too.
I am sorry you do not like the speed humps; I don't either. But the day I saw a driver at over 50 mph whiz by within a foot of a a 7 year old who was walking toward her house after getting off the school bus, I became a believer in speed humps.

I put my comments in red inside the post you made.
Lady, I'm not sure what your problem is. I don't lkee the speed humps, that is my opinion. You might be in love with them and that is your opinion. And you are entitled to your opinion which would have been great of you had stopped there, but the part folling this that you wrote is meddling when you start telling somebody else what they should do. I have rules about my children playing in the street to keep them safe. Maybe you should pay for sidewalks for people to walk on. That way you won't have to worry about walking in the road where the cars are supposed to be. Oh dear, let's not have Namby Pamby Land here.
I do feel that you should allow others to be entitled to an opinion without being attacked.
I don't live on either Bellemeade Road or North Chadwick Street, but if I want to challenge your opinion, I can. What is fair for the goose is fair for the gander. I don't like the speed humps either, but after seeing what was happening on Chadwick thrre eveings in a row, I saw that they are needed - they need MORE!!!
