Those cars are toys the cars don't kill people, the people kill people. Do I sound ignorant? no. It is the truth. You can't argue with that. People have an obsession with the machines, not just the fact that they look intimidating or can go fast. My chevy cavalier with a 4cyl 2.2l engine has a road-speed governor at 106 MPH. Do I drive it that fast? Hell no. Why? It's dangerous and I don't want to. You cannot ban something simply because it has the potential to cause harm. I could ride a bike down the road at amazing speeds and hurt myself or someone else. Is there any reason for such a fast bike? Not really. Am I comparing apples and oranges? No. -Martin Klingensmith
