So, what's your point?  Was the Honda above or below the posted limit?
Would those seven people be any less dead if the posted limit had been
20 mph higher or 20mph lower?  Why do you think so?  (Show all stats.)

Either way, the state should be held criminally negligent because they
didn't switch speed limit signs when it started to rain.  And *PLEASE*
don't give me any of that "conditions permitting" crap -- unless you
can explain why "common sense" and "personal responsibility" arguments
don't cut BOTH ways.  Why can't I go 90 mph, "conditions permitting"?

What kind of *MORON* believes they can paint one "magic number" on a
sign and declare it "The One True Speed" -- day or night, summer or
winter, rain or shine, Porsche or Winnabego, new tread or none?  And
HOW can "The One True Speed" be *lower* in the flatlands of Ohio than
in the mountains of neighboring West Virginia?   ...or Colorado!!??
