I can't drive 55

I know it's an old Sammy Hagger song, but it's true. Reinstating that old law is going to be extremely disruptive and a huge waste of taxpayer dollars. Sen Warner D-Va. is an old school Republican who I think has lost his way and is trying to reminisce about the 70's once again.

I also know that this topic was aired on the Glen Beck show this morning and the points were well proven. It's just piss off a lot of people, productivity will be far less, along with more traffic congestion, and wasted dollars replacing all those signs. The 55 MPH law was repealed in 1995 after 21 years because nobody paid any attention to it. It was the most broken law on the books and it will be continud to be broken if it's re-instated. I'll even be one of the many to state, I'll break it as often as I can if it ever comes into play again. It's just plain stupid.

This is America, the home of the free and the brave. Every time laws restict our behavior, it is going to adversely affect what we do in a negative way, so why do it? It's the same thing in regards to this Global warming nonsense. It just doesn't hold water.

Imagine, here in Seattle they want to charge 20 cents per shopping bag used. That's insane. I won't shop at any store that institues that kind of insanity. And if I'm forced to carry my own bags in, by god I don't know what I'll do. But charging us 20 cents per bag is really going to hurt the average American because we do not earn that much, and it is going to affect us in ways that we may revolt and throw people out of office because of ridiculous ideas.

There's more to this but I can't as I'll end up rambling.
