Drug possession hadn't been brought up yet. I was talking about your response in #46. Can you clarify what your response about justice had to do with anything that I said? Why did your response to my claim that the US lacked respect for justice so closely resemble the last half of a really lame Law and Order episode?

my mistake i should've clarified. i was talking about the people who get unemployment benefits/checks, because i sure as hell don't.

I'm lost. What does this (or odd, poorly constructed digs at welfare recipients) have to do with the US' lack of equal opportunity?
Well, you're somewhat cryptic. Why not just come out with what you're trying to get at instead of talking about communism or cola factions?

i suppose it depends on how you look at it. one could say "the limit is the limit! 1 over is breaking the law! CITATIONS FOR EVERYONE!!" (maybe i got a little carried away). on the other hand, one could notice "hey, they were going down a hill and they weren't trying to weave in and out of traffic like Vin Diesel or those other two nobodies from the F&F franchise, they were obviously sticking close to the speed limit enough to realize one was there and that they were obeying it". can we agree its a matter of perspective?

No. The speed limit is a pretty clear concept. You are either going over it or under it. This isn't as complicated as the definition of "is". I don't know that I would want someone to be driving if their ability to manage their speed was foiled by a hill.
