That is the problem with the socialist state mentality. If the government sells you on the concept that they, and only they are there to protect you and take care of you, it becomes a very slippery slope.

If "speeding" is bad, then the government gets to decide what constitutes speeding and what "stick" they will use to make us all behave.

Easy to justify, it is all to protect US, right?

Now, of course, obesity is BAD for us, so what do you think is coming down the pike. Smoking is BAD and the restrictions will soon be in your home, not in our office. And, of course, the tax on "fatty foods" will follow the tax on tobacco.

Now, don't get me wrong, I hate street speeding. However, as I said above, what constitutes speeding gets worked to the government coufers angle every time.

God bless us all, everyone.
