Two things about the speed limit:

back when there was a gas shortage, it was useful on the national level to
keep gas consumption down.

BUT it also generated revenue.  Our government is now dependent on this
revenue.  The cops you see out on Mopac and on the interstate and whereever
are really just there to generate revenue.  It is so completely obvious.
They arent pulling people over for 'reckless driving' just speeding.  I
argue that if the majority of the people are breaking the law, then something
is wrong with the law.  The police are suppose to be a protector of the people
but they are really nothing more than tax collectors.  Writing ticket after
ticket in speed traps is not making the road more safe, it is just earning
money... Now, think about this... If you have to make money, which would 
you do... 1> go around, finding burglars, drug users/dealers, etc. putting
them in jail (all of which costs money) or 2> write tickets all day for people
going over the speed limit.  Basically, solving crime does not pay, taxing
people going to work and back to home does pay...

Americans are too passive and our government is proof of that.  Im not saying
we should all go and have a revolution party, Im just saying the government
is protecting us from ourselves (as in seatbelt laws, helmet laws, etc) and
taxing us extra in the process.  The government is there to keep us from
infringing on each others rights.
