We all waste energy, might as well get rid of everyone. It would be a much better place for the forest creatures.
National Speed Limit?

I'm voting we impose a mandatory three beer minimum on all meals and install breathalyzers on vehicle ignitions.
It'd cut down on fuel use and make everyone happier.

Exactly what I was talking about. I've avoided being hit by asshats, ****ty drivers and drunk drivers by speeding away and getting the **** away from them on several occasions.
This poll sucks.
And I agree with Westy about kids.

You mean for the Ewoks?
Ewoks are the ghey 
I think cars should ONLY go 65....It's "65" or "stop".
The rebels never would have emerged victorious without their help.Ewoks are the ghey
I think energy should be expensive (ie, gas at $20 with other sources commensurate). Then people can make their own choices wrt car choice, speeding, home construction, thermostat setting, number of kids, etc. with the caveat that they foot their own bill.
even dumber than a national speed limit, Dr.
Artificially set high?
then we should impose a national flat salary to go with it so everyone gets an equal shot at living like civilized people, so we don't favor the rich and oppress the poor. Price discrimination was/is a favored tool to keep minority in their place, and I figured a guy named "Toshi" would know better than that. GUess not.
"Toshi" is short for Toshinberger
Dr. Toshinberger. SOrry, my bad.
Next you're gonna tell me I will only be able to wipe my hairy butt with one piece of toilet paper.
Is there a "dingleberry" tag?
That was called the Soviet Union (1922 to 1991)...
yeah it didn't work there either.
Communism = ultimate FAIL
well, there is two sides...
but this would eliminate the class system and our society would collapse.
screw speed limits. If you're dumb enough to drive 100+ and not be able to control a vehicle, then you deserve to be a smear on the asphalt. Or in a tree.
On that note, where's my flying car dammit!?!?
as i was driving along the other day, i realized with the improvement of technology in cars that in places the speed limit is absurdly low. i mean, 25 mph for a slight bend in the road when there are just trees and no houses on either side of the road?
and a national speed limit would be the dumbest thing ever.

Funny, I was driving along the other day thinking about how improvements in car technology help people get away with being really crappy drivers - until something goes wrong and they don't have a clue how to react.
Those speed limits are posted for worst-case scenarios... i.e. a fully loaded semi full of hydrochloric acid or a 97 year old woman talking on her mobile phone.
Funny, I was driving along the other day and not thinking at all. Just rocking out. Couldn't even recall a single thing on the way to my destination.
By that reasoning , the speed limit should be 45 MPH ( that is about the average where cars are most economical)
and if you are worried about consumption of gas, then should only high efficiency vehicles be allowed on the highway ?
But then theft would be even more rampant.
Highway mileage is always better than city mileage. Ban traffic lights for goodness sake. A roundabout in every pot!
Open your eyes next time
not quite as retarded as a National Speed Limit but still dumb is rationing.
i'm totally shocked that the liberal control freak suv/walmart/Kiss haters on here havent suggested it already

Non sequitur much?
N8, my idea is anti-rationing. Raise the price and the market will control demand. As ohio pointed out elsewhere you often seem to espouse (and by espouse I mean copy and paste) anti-free market ideas, strange for a self-declared conservative.
energy needs to be semi-regulated to make it affordable to nearly everyone since it is an essential part of life at this time.
comes from years of working in the electrix utility industry
public utilities need regulation and fuel should be included.
now of course that isnt going to help much when it comes to the raw cost of the commodity... if oil is $150/bbl then that cost is passed thru just like in the 'letrix & natural gas utility biz..
I vote to limit speeds to 15mph and eliminate DUIs.
All's I know is that Ewoks should not be driving 65....their feet barely even touch the pedals
Nice balls.Yes mechanically limit speed. Electronic would be too complicated
