Hey, no offence but I think part of the problem is that you are taking every argument way too personally. No one is out here to attack you or claim that they are a better person.
As far as self-righteousness goes (as it pertains to drive throughs), I have to call you out on this. In my opinion, any defense of drive throughs is pure self-righteousness. Fact: idling cars pollute. Fact: pollution is harmful to living things. Therefore idling cars harm surrounding living things.
[Do I need to look up studies to convince you of this? If so, you might as well stop reading now. If you agree that these two statements are true, then read on.]
Drive throughs cause an increase in idle time for cars. Drive throughs therefore cause harm to living things. The benefit of drive throughs is convenience of the person in the car. Therefore the person in the car is putting their comfort above the health of surrounding living things. If that's not self righteous then I don't know what is.
That being said, I do use drive throughs on occasion. However I would vote for a ban in an instant, and if it passed I'd just have to suck it up and walk in like everyone else.
