There's fairy tale thinking... your kidding right??
Unless you define "problem", as an accident.

To me, it is a problem if there are complaints, or if people felt uneasy
about the traffic. I am sure some are very nice and understand they are
motoring through a crowd of hot people baking in the heat. If so, the
other end of the spectrum likely exists. And they should be delt with. Or
there will be bigger problems.

If some idiot is going to take away the ability for a child to walk for
two months and then walk in pain for the next seven months or maybe
longer. Incurr medical expenses and loss of lifestyle, what is that worth.
Or even to an adult? I am not a fan of the legal action and accident
litigations but sitting here thinking, "what would it be like", makes me
kinda angry to say the least. And who is responsible, the show, the
driver, or the parent of the driver, the company (vendor vehicle)?


How many out of 700,000 have complained? Without quantifying the problem by
actual incidents or number of people complaining it is all so much smoke.
Out of that many people you are going to get some complaints about any and
everything. Quantify the problem then come back and start a real
discussion.

Well, for the purpose of debate, I would submit that our newsgroup could be
a good sample of the attendees. We have probably 50 people who regularly
post here? Of course, all of us are computer savvy enough to know what a
newsgroup is, but for the most part, you've got a good slice of the pie
represented.

So, if 10 of the 50 see this as a problem, wouldn't it hold true that 20% of
the 700,000 also found it (at least) irritating?

Then again, using this same method is how the Gay/Lesbian movement has
managed to convince America that 10% of all U.S. Citizens are
gay.....hrmmm....

Just a thought
