    I don't like what I see at all.  There are 2 groups, one wants like, 
1400 miles of road to go to 65, the other wants way less to be 65, and only
for a few years.  I don't know what the big deal is...  The only impact 
raising the limit to 65 will have on me will be 10 less mph over the 
limit on my speeding tickets.*  65 is still *way* too slow.  Try driving
140-150mph, and then slowing down to 65.  It feels like 30.  You'd swear
you could open the car door and step out with no worries.
