Not everyone who thinks differently than you is ignorant of selfish.
Yes, some jurisdictons are just slow in catching up, much the same way that most are slow on banning hands free phones for the drivers in car, yes its proven to increase incidents. You are welcome to freedoms on your own land, house, but when you are in a public space then your actions can impact others - hence why we have laws and dont let individuals decide for themselves what they think is an appropriate speed limit etc.
