Olin, if the government told you they had determined
that a huge amount of injuries could be avoided if people
were forced to walk REALLY SLOWLY, ie, never walk fast
or run, no matter what your health level, ability or
physical training is...

Would you walk REALLY SLOWLY the rest of your life?
Never walk fast again? Never run again? Taking those
options away from YOU because there is a small segment
of the community that fall over when they walk fast
and get hurt??

The only sane reality is where people must use their
maturity, social conscience and skills to walk just
quick enough to get where they want to go without
hurting themselves or others. Always allowing for a
small random disaster percentage, this is reality
after all.

To force ALL people to walk REALLY SLOWLY is some
type of dystopian hell where the competent 80% of
society must forever pay for the incompetence of
the other 20%.

And I didn't even mention revenue raising...
