A Proposed 55MPH Speed LimitRexx Rektal has heard that "they" are thinking about reinstating a Federal 55MPH speed limit, and will comment on it Now!From 1974 to 1995, there was a Federal 55MPH speed limit, enacted by Jimmy Carter. Rexx Rektal remembers this, and has some thoughts on the new proposal.Senator John Warner suggested that the US reinstate the national 55MPH speed limit, in order to reduce fuel usage on the highways, and reduce accidents.The results from 1972 to 1995 indicate that this worked, with a reduction of oil usage of 167,000 barrels a DAY and a reduction in fatalities of 4,000 people per year.Rexx Rektal will admit that the Rexx Rektal mobile will get better economy at 55, and the jackasses can just go around. People drive like idiots, and it would be better if the idiots drive slower.Of course, the best motivation for the government to do this is the massive ticket barrage that will ensue, getting fat cats fatter, or morbidly obese! Remember the last time!Rexx Rektal would have a personal motivation for this law passing, Rexx Rektal can remake the song "Rexx Rektal can't drive 55", but the original did not speak in the 3rd person.Will the American people like it...NO! Will America do anything about it...NO! Really, what will YOU do about it, for or against? You don't do ANYTHING! Happy double nickels, you jerks!

Jul 5, 2008 - Hey, thanks for the support! Rexx Rektal thinks 55MPH would help with making electric cars even more practical too, because it would improve their range

rexxrektal Says:
Jul 5, 2008 - Yeah Buddy!Wait until november when the price of oil goes down, then you will get a better price for the SUV. Of course, it will make an excellent bunker!Rexx Rektal a friend? You must be a glutton for punishment!

Jul 6, 2008 - this makes too much sense for it to happen.

Jul 6, 2008 - some collage students in georgia made 55 mph road block side by side and bottler necked the traffic im sure doing the speed limit during rush hour will realy slow things down and send a message to the gov to raise it
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - Good point!
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - You missed the point!Rexx Rektal is FOR the 55MPH speed limit! It would be fine to run 55, no governor could do anything about a Federal law!
libertariananarchist Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - rex when i said gov i meant government
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - Ok, Well Rexx Rektal thinks a 55MPH speed limit will get everyone down to 65MPH, which will be much better. You know, no one would have to speed if they got out of their homes 5 minutes earlier, but no one see this as a good idea.
libertariananarchist Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - rex, i think the american interstate system should be braught up to autobahn standards with no speed limit in rural areas
ZippoBurner Says:
Jul 8, 2008 - We can significantly reduce fuel consumption, as well as automobile accidents simply by outlawing vehicles. My proposal: pass a federal law that makes driving a crime punishable by death.
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 9, 2008 - Rexx Rektal could handle that, but most Americans are to dumb to do this
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 9, 2008 - Now there is a unique idea!Rexx Rektal thinks a 55MPH limit would be a better thing to do.Rexx Rektal drove 55 on the Interstate today, and he thinks some people wanted to impose a death penalty! Damn Morons!
ZippoBurner Says:
Jul 9, 2008 - You're right. Perhaps executing morons would be a more rational solution. Unfortunately this would eliminate 96% of the American Population.
libertariananarchist Says:
Jul 10, 2008 - i think strict laws on lane behavior and higher standards for lisencing like germany has would ensure safer driving with no speed limits
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 10, 2008 - Isn't this what the NWO wants anyway?
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 10, 2008 - An interesting point for a libertarian!Well, If the Autobahn was on an elevated road, with an exit every 10 miles, it might work
libertariananarchist Says:
Jul 10, 2008 - look up autohan on youtube. there is a good history channel vid on it
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 11, 2008 - Cool!Rexx Rektal knew there was a reason he left the comments turned on
libertariananarchist Says:
Jul 11, 2008 - if the feds institute a 55 mph limit im going to rent some rider trucks , take up all the lanes side by side and run a 55 mph road block in rush hour traffic in miami to all the way tallahasse. to show the government what exactly will happen if ever 1 did 55 mph. i will shut i95 down
MadBadVoodo Says:
Jul 18, 2008 - Interesting video and I know you are right however I can't drive 55! I have a need 4 speed!!! LOL!!!!Five Stars My Friend!
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 20, 2008 - See, that is the point, HAVE AN OPINION, AND USE IT! Rexx Rektal would rather drive 100, but if it hurts THEM, so be it, Rexx Rektal would drive 25!
indyfan22k Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - How did Jimmy Carter enact the speed limit if he was Governor of Georgia in 1974 ???
rexxrektal Says:
Jul 30, 2008 - You are correct, Gerald Ford did it, Rexx Rektal stands corrected, thank you!Folks, it took 109 views for anyone to catch that! You dummies!
