If you have different opinions than those you are debating against you are going to have to defend all of the above. That is what debating is all about. As for a small minority, I don't think it is a small minority. If you are really concerned about keeping the speed limit in effect, which I am opposed to, you will be held up as the poster child in the future to legislators of "who" wants the speed limit. "Who" being a very troubled person who is struggling with their own personal identity. My sympathies go out to you and your wife, she seems to be the one who has supported you and yet suffered the most. Your animosity will not be forgiven in the world of politics, it will be recognized only as animosity. So sorry to have to tell you what the real world is all about, but you have pushed the limits of everyone on the forum and it was time to let you know that I, as well as many others are tired of this debate.
Don is closing the the speed limits thread soon, and that is the real purpose of my message to you.
The debate is over for now, and I don't think there is a category on the Winnipesaukee Forum categories for YOUR story. Frankly, I think you have always wanted this debate to wind up being about you or was just apersonal challenge for YOU. That is my opinion, you may disagree, I really don't care. I have read this message that I am posting several times, and don't see any personal attacks or name calling. If you take exception to the "poster child" reference it is not a personal attack or biased statement, it is reality. Willie Horton was a "poster child" for that brought Michael Dukakis' run for the White House down. Since I understand that you have trouble remembering some past events, I have given you this reference so you don't feel crucified by the reference. Once again this correlation, is not an attack, just a helpful point of reference.
