Are you suggesting that engaged citizens, protesting in a completely legal and orderly way, are 'spoiled brats'?
If your municipal government banned banned bicycles from the road altogether, would you protest or curl up in ball, secure in the perceived moral superiority of obeying whatever law happens to get passed? Even as, of course, you continue to ride - as you've stated you 'take certain liberties'. I suppose you just want to continue to break the law when it suits, but don't want to do the hard work of helping to get those laws changed to better suit the populace. Perhaps you don't tend to attract police attention, through some...virtue.
Are voters hoping for some change 'spoiled brats' as well? Or does that particular form of engagement earn your tolerance?
