It's all about the numbers. Your statistics knowledge should help you with this. You are by yourself (virtually speaking) in this converstation. You have your beliefs, and the 5 or 6 other members who respond to you have their beliefs. Since you are in the minority here...by far I might add...you only feel like you are being ganged up on. You are posting on a website in which a recent poll stated that a majority of the members were against a speed limit. So you should expect to feel like the minority.

I would liken it to a person who does not drink going into a bar and saying that the bar should be banned from selling alcohol.
