Lad seems to like speeding car analogies, so here is what I think more apropos to this question:

He wants to institute some sort of automatic barrier that will stop the car in case someday - maybe decades from now - there might be a cliff ahead of it.

The cliffs already have guardrails. The car isn't approaching a cliff, though.

Also, I hate speed bumps. 99% of the time, they are merely problematic.

Maybe a roadblock, with officers to check your papers, would solve this emerging problem.

Cliffs jump in front of speeding cars all the time. We need to be ready to handle this problem.

I note that Lad has posted this morning on the sports section, but has not deemed this important enough for his opinion today.

I’m taking up too much space in your brain, OO.


It is flattering that, despite your regular insults, you seem to care about my opinion enough to monitor which parts of the Parliament I post to. Perhaps, though, the tone here (including your hall monitoring of my posting habits), has gotten to a point where I no longer think there’s any positive value in posting here.
