Libs proven right - Higher speed limits do KILL

By DEE-ANN DURBIN, Associated Press Writer 

WASHINGTON - States that raised their speed limits to 70 mph or more
saw a dramatic increase in the number of people killed in traffic
accidents, according to a report released Monday by an auto safety
group funded by insurers. <SNIP>

The Insurance Institute said there is no doubt, however, that when
speed limits increase so do deaths. When the national speed limit of
55 mph was adopted 1974, fatality rates dropped, the Insurance
Institute's chief scientist Allan Williams said.

This is just what us libbies have been saying for years. You repugs in
your SUVs doing 90 mph are murderers and terrorists. Repugs love to
talk about being HARD ON CRIME - then they get out on the highways and
kill someone with their speeding and say "forget it man - it was an
accident". There is no easier way to save lives in america than to
lower speed limits back to 55 and imprison the violators. I'm sick of
all this criminal coddling.
