We were on the right course in the 70's when we realized the danger of
the automobile and lowered the speed limit to 55. Many lives were
saved and many more could have been saved, too, if the limit had been
decreased even farther to 5-10 MPH or even lower. Think of the lives
that could have been saved! However, a group of hoodlums promoting the
false god of common sense not only kept that from happening, but
returned us to speeds as high as or higher than before. Speed (like
guns) KILLS!


I thought president Ford demanded a mandatory 55 mph speed limit to
promote fuel economy and cut oil consumption seeing there was a
supposed 'shortage' and pump gas jumped from .35c to a whopping .74c a
gallon practically over night.


It was Tricky Dick.
