because the speed limit on most interstates is 75 I think they should raise the speed limit. Seriously. some of them are just rediculously slow....at least around here. Ok, then, 75. Its because of the lack of controll. This speed limiter thing is just another way the governments interfering with peoples lives. If you cant have controll over apeice of metal, than what next? I distrust the government as much as the next fella, but I mean, I think you are clutching straws here. I mean, is it a conspiracy that not all cars today go at 150 miles per hour? No. What use is there to drive at speeds circa 100 miles per hour? Besides, I don't think the government should have anything to do with it. I think car companies shouldn't let people drive cars at such fast speeds. Are legislation in the form of speed signs corrupt?

Its just a question of ego I think. The fact that someone can controll something you do without your permision. I personally dont care, I dont plan on owning a car, or even getting a lisence.

devil, whats your opinion on a pub telling a customer that they have to leave after they have a lot of alcohol drank, and are too drunk?
I don't say this as a "too drunk to drive" just as something to show that excess/too high of something is something that isn't allowed in a lot of things.
To take that example to cars, even in sobriety, we can't be trusted in a vehicle at superfluous speeds, and cars being made should be made to a certain means.
Part of me thinks that a car built to the highest in its country of origin would be suitable, because then, the car will not be restricted according to people of the country of that car.
But then, the car can go excessively fast in the wrong areas, and tourists going abroad with their car also have problems.
For that reason, I think this GPS thing... I understand the invasion argument, and I wouldn't want that whole, "them seeing where you are" thing which is probably part and parcel, which would make me reluctant to go for that....

Im not argueing against this speed limiter thing, I was just stating that it is an issue of ego in not being able to controll something that you own.

I never really saw the point in making Democracies I'm not sure if the government have the right either, but I don't think there's any convincing argument against Fascism. Not from the viewpoint of any law abiding citizens, anyway. Analogie made. Godwin violated. Have a nice Day.

Ouch. Talk about mis-quoting. It's true, what do law-abiding citizens have to worry about from a Fascist government? I mean... just sit there and don't break the law, that's how we Fascists over in Italy do it!
