Default Re: go back to 55 mph?

Hmm, Lets see. that's like regulating the price of gas. All that did was create long waiting lines at gas stations. The memories that stand out the most about 70's: Long lines at the gas pumps (I would have gladly paid more if I could avoid waiting) and how much I hated the 55 Mph limit. That rumour may have been started by a right-winger or one of Hillary's rivals for the Dem nomination. On the other hand, it it really was Hillary advocating the return of the dreaded "55", it is a sure way for Hillary to torpedo her hopes to be president.

go on and write me up for 125
Post my face wanted dead or alive,
Take my license and all that jive
I can't drive....well you know the rest
