I do not see how that makes it a poor analogy.Using your logic that pedestrians derive zero benefit from someone driving but are exposed to a risk of death from that driving, we can further conclude that you are also in favor of gun control. That means that no one (except possibly police) should have the right to own a gun, and we do not consider any other factors like allowing hunters to hunt using guns. That's because the person who may be hit by a gun derives zero benefit from the person owning the gun but is exposed to a risk of death by that gun. Are you in favor of gun control and if sondo you believe that we only need to consider a single factor in determining if we allow guns or not. Because that is exactly what you are doing by concluding speed limiits need to be lowered because one person may be killed by a speeding car, making a decision by considering only a single factor. |
