A childish mind?  You truly slay me Earl.

My dream world?  I'm not the one living in a world where exceeding the
speed limit turns one into a hurtling meteor of destruction, despite
compliance rates being below 10% nationally prior to the lifting of
the NMSL.  But that's all a dream, isn't it?

Are you particularly thick today?  Is math beyond simple addition a
little too challenging for you?  What does it mean if fatalities are
up by 9% and the VMT is up by 10%?  It is futile to discuss it because
we don't know yet what the results are going to be since the VMT
information isn't available yet.  The report itself warns you that it
means nothing, but you are crowing about some huge victory here.
Truly remarkable.

So because I don't think speeding is the root of all evil as you do,
it means I think it cannot cause harm?  That's quite the leap of logic
you've made, Earl.  Quite mentally athletic in your dotage, aren't
you?

Wow, what an intellectual response.  This is why I love debating with
you Earl, you accuse me of being childish and end your post this way.
And the best part of it is you aren't even smart enough to see the
humour in it.
