    So volcanoes and other natural environmental factors play absolutely no role in climate change? It's all due to evil humans?Please. I guess somehow we killed off the dinosaurs too. Look in the mirror time you want to call someone a "puppet".

    Believe it! There are crooked cops everywhere. Some are just there for a paycheck but most of them are there for the State and they're straight up thugs. I caught a 70 in a 55 in Ohio a couple weeks ago but I was NOT speeding. I've talked to numerous lawyers and have retained one as well. They're all telling me to basically bend over that it's going on my record unless something miraculous happens in my favor. You have no idea how bad I wanted to very bad things to that POS.

    Your friend sealed his fate at that moment, telling a LEO what the law is and how to do his job. It was confirmed by other citations he received. Your friend learned the hard way, and I suspect he doesn't deal well with authority and is going to lose many jobs in the future. His experience doesn't translate into valid warning for the bulk of the driver population on this forum.
    Whatever the posted limit is I follow it. In an earlier era, when I was young and stupid I would try to make time by pushing the envelope. Take the Smith System defensive driving course and they will prove it is an ineffective exercise in futility.
    I don't question the why's and wherefore's of how the speed limits are set, I disagree with lots of them. But I also share the road with a lot of amateur drivers who shouldn't have a license, much less be allowed to drive the posted speed limit.

    @Diantane, mind sharing whatever it is you are smoking? It's gotta be some good stuff to produce such detailed hallucinations.

    Plants are becoming less nutritious per unit thanks to more CO2.


    Volcanoes contribute less than 1% of human output.

    I was thinking more like west coast Liberal Socialists,.. aka American Communists.

    The way some people think and rationalize things is mind boggling to me. Their minds are so warped and twisted, they are unable to be reasoned with.

    You just cant argue with stupid people.

    Just slow down and be mindful of the posted speed limits. Watch the downgrades on 81 and 40. They will sneak up on you really quick. Normally the VA troopers will sit in the cut out at the base of a downgrade. Just be careful and take it easy. The other night on 81 it was backed up for about an hour NB. Some driver rolled his rig. Going to fast. Slow it down.

    Total trash source. Your article doesn't cite one single credible source they're basing their loose assumptions on. Cows release methane from their ####'. Let's kill them all off. I have a better idea...let's just kill off those who seek to destroy human life.
