What society wouldn't define themselves as a nation of laws. This is dumb

Oh, you haven’t seen the GOP debates? They keep saying we are a “nation of laws” to keep illegals out, yet we all exceed the speed limits that are set ridiculously low, like 55 mph on a wide open Interstate in Illinois when everyone does 75+ mph, with the left lane occasionally seeing speeds well above 90 mph. If speed limits were REALISTIC, people would follow them, as countless studies have shown. You can’t pick and choose which laws to follow and then turn around and say “we are a nation of laws.”

I’ve watched the debates, and you don’t gotta explain the logistics to me brother.
Come to Texas and go 85

...the solution is to get the law changed. Not break the law because you don’t agree with it.
I would love to see 85 mph zones in Michigan. I’ve seen limits raised in recent years, but they only seem to go up +5 at a time. From 35 to 40, or from 65 to 70. At least those are steps in the right direction...
Detroit is in particular need of higher speed limits. Especially the 55mph portions of I75, I94, I96, M10, and M39.

A year back or so, at least one Michigan lawmaker seriously considered 75 or 80 mph and an MSP said it would work.

I’m all for raising speed limits, but that’s not really what “nation of laws” means.
That phrase means that everyone is subject to the law and to punishment for violating the law. In other words, no one is “above the law,” which is the situation you have when you have a “nation of men” and rules are arbitrary and those who make the rules are not subject to the rules.
But yeah, speed limits are a joke. Raise ‘em to a sane level or get rid of them entirely and control speeds with road design.

I do 80 in a 55 in Detroit everyday, along with countless other people. They really need to fix the damn speed limits already.
.... or just keep not patrolling the highways, that works too.

The primary debates are about grand standing. The plan right now is to paint yourself as the most right wing nut job you can, win the primary, then recant everything before the general election. Its not about actual good ideas.
