One day, going 70 would have gotten me a ticket. The next, it wouldn't have. Nothing changed about me, the highway, or anything at all. Just some aribtrary number. If they would just raise that silly number to reflect the speed that most people -- including off duty police officers -- drive, then you could spend your time nailing the drivers who are the most dangerous. -- Tony Wang http://www.geocities.com/colosseum/2544 Remove the nospam from my name to send me mail
