>Right now, with gasoline over $2 a gallon, you might say it's a great place to live, but you wouldn't want to visit here. Yes, I know there are places where it is much more expensive, but maybe that isn't related to price gouging.

Uh, no, it has more to do with the price of crude oil than it does anything else, and crude has been steadily rising for a while now. There's no price gouging.

> The federal government has less to do with traffic laws than the states, but don't you just hate the way they make laws and then don't enforce them uniformly? Speed limits are only one example.

I'd rather cops spend their time chasing murderers, rapists and robbers than making sure they nab every single person who rolls a stop sign or does 75 on the interstate.
