The general public doesn't have the time or resourses for a continued battle to have things their way and the government knows it. Mark my words , next year there will be increased speed limit areas. I've seen the same thing here with seat belts , cell phones , smoking and even local , over inflated , school budgets that we've voted down three times and still get stuck with
Ok , I've got other things to do today so I'll get off my soap box and leave it open for others
Next the food police arrive! They are doing it in Chicago - there are shootings every day but the pols would rather focus their attention on banning trans fats and foie gras!
