I remember when 55 first started (Gadzooks I'm getting old!)
reading about cars that would not stand for running at 55 in top
gear for long periods of time.  The owners of these cars are forced
to drive in a lower gear at 55, which does wonders for gas mileage.

(Of course there's always the other solution!)

As far as a 'right' to buy and drive a Cad, or other disgusting
wasteful car: fine, that's your right, but it can and should
be taxed very heavily.

Anyone who's against driving fast should also be against 747s.
Their fuel efficiency per person isn't too hot, in the interest
of getting there fast. Do we even need to mention the SST?

Perhaps you're against fast cars *and* jets.  So how are we
supposed to get around?  Do you live next door to the rest
of your family?  I don't.  I like to visit them once or twice
a year.  I don't wish a return to stagecoach speed travel.
Do you?  Does someone who has to do a lot of traveling in 
connection with their job?

Re: "We have the best Congress money can buy."  I believe
it was Will Rogers who came up with that one, (anyone know for sure?)
and yes, JJ, it's sad, disgusting, and a few other choice words.
