You can already gain the mileage improvement of a 65 MPH speed limit by driving that speed right now.

We do not need a law to force everyone to drive slower - that makes as much sense as a law requiring you to keep your tires properly pressurized (which is also very important to save gas).

Basically, it should be up to the individual to make their own cost versus efficiency determination, not the government. Speed limits should be set purely based on safety concerns, not social engineering.

This is a GOOD THING.

19th street has been a complete hazard for years now...a potholed disaster.

It is a pain having it closed this summer, but the end result will be a smooth road that I can actually drive down without having to go into 4WD mode.

Patience.

"The t-shirts are rude and inappropriate"

Well, then,they should be illegal.

As the First Amendment states, the right of the people to not ever be offended by anything shall not be infringed.

Oh, wait. That was in Opposite America.

Sorry.

I suspect if it is blue and has the word Kansas on it, then it infringed, but the non-blue ones did not. I guess go to the store in a week and see which shirts are missing!

"Yeah, yeah, I know Missouri beat Kansas in football last fall — and soundly at that"

Missouri won by 8 points -- essentially two missed field goals and a late safety. That hardly qualifies as "soundly" in my book.

They really should have waited til the Tue2Way devices come out, those will give consumers the ability to take advantage of full digital cable functionality without having to rent a box.

The way Sunflower is doing it now it forces customers to rent devices (digital boxes or cable cards) from Sunflower, at least for another year til Tue2Way is out.

I understand the technical reasons they have to switch, sooner or later, but I believe that the reason they chose "sooner" was to get a few extra hundred thousand $$ a month revenue by increasing the number of boxes they get to rent out. And of course, there's no option to buy the current boxes/cards...if there were, people wouldn't be as upset.

Yeah, you do have to rent a box from Sunflower if you want digital cable. Read their FAQ...most of the digital stations are going to be encrypted, and only Sunflower provides the boxes to decrypt them. Even if you buy a tivo or high end tv you still need to rent a cable card to use it (which is a kind of "mini" digital box about the size of a credit card)

Yeah, but now we can't get a dose of "democratic courage" at Free State before caucusing!

Most on the left favor free speech, and freedom of expression - "don't just trust the big media or the government, read and learn and discover for yourself"

But when it comes to the second amendment, they are perfectly willing to trust big government to protect them, in spite of the mixed track record of the police/government when it comes to protecting people (especially minorities such as blacks and gays)

Supporting the bill of rights means supporting ALL the bill of rights!

The power outage totally ruined an evening of Wii-ing for me. Ironically, the Wii itself was on a UPS, but not the TV. Oh well.
