And in this ring… For years I’ve been dumbstruck watching the asinine folly of The Circus Of The Seals. How can so many people devote so much time, energy and cruelty trying to force a few sea mammals from their home? How about you compassionless morons do something productive for our village? Like getting those hideous ghetto newspaper boxes off our streets. Jerry Cesak, La Jolla Slower speeds solve problems An unpopular political issue is at hand on how to reduce smog, save on gasoline and help prevent many fatal auto accidents. The solving of such problems should be made by a strict consensus of our citizenry in the state of California. What can we do about it? Reverting and posting to slower speed limits for drivers can be done efficiently and cheaply. Speed limit on freeways should revert to 55 miles per hour rather than what its current signs post. A dollar plastic sign adherent to the current mileage signs are at minimum cost for the California state budget. But, the issue is generally politically unpopular. So, I think that I have found the solution. We need to seek out some legislators who are leaving politics and work with such individuals in achieving that which I am positive they will gladly assist with working on such, namely to reduce the freeway speed limits. Since among such political legislators there is no worry about winning or losing elections, they would likely be proud of accomplishing such an important task as part of their record of accomplishments for posterity.
