The speed cameras in Arizona are all about revenue… Wouldn’t it be interesting to ‘follow the money trail’ as the expression goes.

If DHS was serious about reducing accidents, they would enforce the existing laws regarding tailgating, lane speed discipline and those factors that DO cause accidents.

Thats the other thing around here: The speed limit varies from mile to mile it seems, and it’s REAL easy to get caught off guard. Kansei, do you ever notice that?

To your list I’d add:

Impoverish industrial states with taxes that enrich government employees in the DC suburbs.

There’s one right next to the metered onramp I get to sit on for a good 10 minutes waiting to get on the highway in the evening, and in that time I usually see it flash 5-10 times. What a huge money maker if it can give that many tickets during the evening rush hour when most lanes on that highway are stop and go!

I’m pretty sick of the traffic jams caused by installation of the cameras and news reporters causing traffic jams standing next to the camera to do a news story on them.

For being a “wild west” state, Arizona sure is a bit too much of a police state.

Amen, brother. At least we’ll always have “Hope”.

To whomever is doing this beautiful work : KEEP IT UP!! YEAH!

A few hundred years ago, it was taxation on tea, which was the final straw for a revolution. Will it be speed cameras during our time?

No.

We’re too DF&H, sitting in front of our monitors, internet browsers, XBoxes, and American Idol episodes.

We hate our elected officials, given recent approval ratings, but in some stroke of insanity, we’re perfectly happy to keep re-electing the same incompetent politicians over and over again.

We’re mostly happy to send our children to inferior government schools for their daily indoctrination. And indoctrinated they get.

We’ve signed on to the Global Warming Religion lock, stock, and barrel, even in the face of evidence that runs contrary to the preachings of the religion’s high priests.

A numerical minority actually pays the great majority of taxes; while more than 50% of the population benefits from wealth transfers. It can be argued that this money is just stolen from the “voluntarily enslaved class”.

Like all of the other working citizens who actually pay taxes, I could “choose” to escape my enslavement, but only if I am willing to give up all that I am. It’s not just my career that I’d have to give up, it’s also my principles, goals, and dreams…and, I might say, my soul.

Nope. On the whole, the evidence overwhelmingly shows that we’re pretty happy with the way things are.

I will continue my enslavement, while others continue to cash my payments to them before returning to their “un” reality television show or “Wii Music” game.

I think it’s irrefutably obvious: We’re NOT willing to enact real “change.”

Actually it was drop of taxation on tea that started Boston tea party. Just as now, “fathers” of society were making themselves better off by using their public image. Hancock was a tea smuggler: Adams his defense lawyer. Tea smugglers were avoiding crown taxes. Once taxes were lifted, their livelihood was in jeopardy: hence a party.
