The articles very much do prove that he holds little regard for pedestrian lives.His article makes the claim very clear. "Whenever I discuss my opposition to some of the features of Vision Zero, those who disagree make the same argument: that the slower a vehicle travels, the less likely a pedestrian will be killed. That analysis is overly simplistic because other factors need to be considered, such as the need to get people to their destinations in a reasonable amount of time." "Whenever I discuss my opposition to some of the features of the Voting Rights Act, those who disagree make the same argument: without it, black people in the south might be unable to vote. That analysis is overly simplistic because other factors need to be considered, such as the need for states to be able to regulate their own electoral processes." "Whenever I discuss my opposition to some of the features of the Equal Rights Ammendment, those who disagree make the same argument: without it, women might be underpaid relative to men in the workforce. That analysis is overly simplistic because other factors need to be considered, such as the relative value of the work a woman does compared to that done my men." What an argument states matters. If you make a statement along the lines of "I don't mean to be racist, but hispanic people should be regularly stopped on the street just to make sure they are citizens" "I don't mean to be sexist, but women aren't as valuable to the workforce, so they shouldn't get paid as much" "I don't mean to be homophobic, but I wish the gays would stop trying to steal the sanctity of marriage from us god fearing christians" "I don't mean to be anti-semitic, but don't you think it is a problem that the jews control all the money?" "I don't mean to say pedestrian lives don't matter, but I shouldn't have to wait 15 seconds for pedestrians to cross the street while I trying to turn" If you have to say "I am not racist, but..." You are probably being racist. If you have to say "I am not homophobic, but..." You are probably being homophobic. If you are saying "I am not saying pedestrian lives matter, but..." You are probably saying pedestrian lives don't matter. And I fail to see how when three people who are not named Brian point out that your argument is fallacious that someone else completely disconnected from the argument who happens to be named Brian is connected in some way. |
