Gubernatorial Candidate Wants to Sell Speeding Passes for $25
If Nevada gubernatorial candidate Eugene "Gino" DiSimone gets his way, $25 will buy you the right to drive up to 90mph for a day. DiSimone estimates his "free limit plan" will raise $1 billion a year for Nevada. From the article: "First, vehicles would have to pass a safety inspection. Then vehicle information would be loaded into a database, and motorists would purchase a transponder. After setting up an account, anyone in a hurry could dial in, and for $25 charged to a credit card, be free to speed for 24 hours."
We are all less intelligent for having read this post.

The problem is that stupid irresponsible people are allowed to procreate. We need to come up with government board that determines the suitability of parents to procreate. If the board determines that you are responsible, and you pay the correct fees you can become a dooley licensed parent. I don't see any problem with this idea. It is the only solution to keep the good people (you) from having to take care of those bums that are creating a burden on society, (those other people who are not reading this)
The good responsible people do not have a problem with creating a system where the state can tell you how to drive, if you may own firearms, when you may sell alcohol(at a hefty state profit). Shouldn't the next step on the road to a harmonious society be to create an official procreation sanctioning body.
Just thinking...
