Mr. Bray apparently feels that it's an infringement of his freedom not to
be able to go 80, but it's not an infringement of his freedom to be
prevented from buying, say, a Cadillac. This is the kind of logical thinking
which generally surfaces in this whole 55-anti-55 argument; that's why I'm
damn sick of it. I suspect most other people are too - at least, that would be
a good explanation for the fact that Congress doesn't seem to consider it a
serious issue. And who can blame them?

            186,000 miles per second - it's not just a good idea, it's the law!

PS. For what it's worth, my brother's Volvo gets best mileage at right
    about 55.
