I have no dog in this fight but I do have MHO. I tend to sympathize with those who were living on a quiet side street. The consequences to the side street should have been obvious to those who instigated the installation of the speed bumps. Simple fairness would dictate that they also share in the cost of placing speed bumps on the other streets as their actions caused the traffic pattern change. This would of course result in the original through street regaining it's original traffic volume along with the new associated noise and pollution caused by the bumps.
That said, and I'm sorry if I sound a bit callus here, but really, who gives a sh!t if a mongoose got run over.

may many more meet the same end
I thought that Shoresresident was indulging in some black humor (announce a fatality, get you ready to be sad and outraged for a lost resident, and then it's a mongoose) -- but then I haven't been following who is for or against, so I don't know what side he/she is on.

Laughing out loud...sorta. I think they're cute, but I meet so many people who don't like 'em. Maybe if I grew up with them or they bothered me somehow I'd feel that way.[:I]

A very real possibility I considered when it was first posted. Actually the assumption I kind of made when it was originally posted in the other thread and at the time I didn't want to ruin the joke. But when I looked at it again after hanging with my friend Evan Williams, I couldn't resist.
