Now Dave, we have something we can agree on. However you are wrong about the rest of the opposition. They have posted many times that a speed limit will NOT save lives. And that slower is NOT safer than faster.
Here is a quote from an earlier post by winnilaker, the leader of the opposition.

If the opposition admitted that a speed limit COULD save lives, then we could move on to a discussion of the trade-offs to individual freedom. However as you can read in the above quote, that is NOT their position.
I believe their real position is that they want to go fast, and anything that argues against that is incorrect, irrelevant or not pertinent.
