We all waste energy, might as well get rid of everyone. It would be a much better place for the forest creatures.You know what really wastes energy? Kids. Madatory abortions.

Sometimes speeding can/does save lives.
Murderer.
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.Man, it would suck if I died in a high speed collision because I was unable to accelerate to avoid it.
You mean for the Ewoks?We all waste energy, might as well get rid of everyone. It would be a much better place for the forest creatures.

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.

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.

No...Next you're gonna tell me I will only be able to wipe my hairy butt with one piece of toilet paper.

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.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.
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.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?
By that reasoning , the speed limit should be 45 MPH ( that is about the average where cars are most economical)My reason is for conservation. As a country we need to start conserving energy. And letting people drive 80mph increases gas consumption by as much as 25% vs 65mph.
good choiceFunny, 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.

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.

I vote to limit speeds to 15mph and eliminate DUIs.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.
Nice balls.Yes mechanically limit speed. Electronic would be too complicated
