I am an Australian. What are the questions asked in the US Census? Is there a link to the questions? Everyone here seems to make it sounds as if the questions are very personal.
I suppose part of the opposition to this would be that a lot of speed limits are imposed on a political basis, not on what is a safe speed (think of the old 55mph in USA). People also tend to drive at a speed limit that they think is safe. Here in New South Wales, Australia, we had a rationalisation of speed limits. It used to be just 60km/hr, 80, 100, 110. These were determined by the type of road and type of area. We now have 40, 50, 60,70, 80, 90, 100 and 110. The speed limit is now determined by the actual conditions of the road. People are now more inclined to drive within the speed limit.
Maybe, with vehicles being speed limited, a review of the actual speed limits is needed.
Does 802.11b have a logo? I can just imagine places like cafes, airports and other public places displaying a logo to show they have wireless access to the internet. It would be sort of like the now defunct Rabbit CT2 phone system in the UK or Walkabout in Australia. Where ever you see the logo you can communicate.

I can't seem to find anything in the thread mentioning anything about this. It's not why I would say Americans are arrogant.
