So if one of the few times you drive also happens to be one of the critical moments in your life, you'd be cool with me disrupting traffic on the road your using because as a cyclist I'm free of concern for you because the "emotional response" of a cyclist trumps everything?

Passing judgment on the value of other peoples time, people I know nothing about, isn't something I feel entitled to do simply because of my mode of transportation. It doesn't have to be all or nothing, one can be concerned and accommodating to the wants and needs of others without surrendering all their own wants and needs.

Give a little, take a little, lest we become one of "them".
