Believe that there is a need to promote to people value of Respect! Such a big word!? Respect for each other, neighbours etc

e.g. Simple example - Speeding in local neighbourhood - educate people its not just the danger, its a lack of repect for people in that vicinity. Why should this be? You do not know them so why should you disrespect them?
Promotion of the idea of having simple respect for each other is not new but seems to have been lost in the complexity of our technological world!?

    Jun 22 2012: This post reminds me of a below quote for the movie "The Fast and the Furious"

    Brian: Hey, wait, hold up! I don't have any cash, but I do have the pink slip to my car
    Jesse: Wait, you just can't climb in the ring with Ali 'cause you think you box!
    Brian: He knows I can box! So check it out, it's like this: If I lose, winner takes my car clean and clear. But if I win, I take the cash, and I take the respect!
    Dom: [laughing] Respect?
    Brian: To some people, that's more important
    Dom: ...That your car?

    Jun 21 2012: How about the respect of neighborhood residents to get out of the way and let others get to where they're going without impedance? I hate slow drivers. It's rude and disrespectful. We should not only have "maximum" speed limits but also "minimum" speed limits. Oh and why do we have rush hour traffic? It's usually because some idiot decides to go just a little slower than everyone else which causes miles of back-ups. I should be able to travel as fast as I want to get any where I want to go. Wouldn't society be so much more awesome if we all used rocket cars that travel at Mach speeds?

    Jun 21 2012: Respect , perhaps

    but "Compassion" is the first "must be" and then your examples of concern would be taken care of before they arise
