On the opposite end of things, you have Texas that is pretty much
legalizing insane speeds. But that's OK. Since guns are very much
legal there, nobody ever dies from gunshots, so they need extreme
speeds to thin out the population. Where guns are illegal, everybody
dies from gunshots so they have to have extremely low speeds to keep
the population from totally dying out. In Colorado, they legalized pot
so everybody is so stoned that there are no more gunshots or speeding.
Do I have that right?
