Speed limits are based on "reasobale" limitations of the roads that are traveled. Nevermind we have MORON drivers out there.<br /><br />The Ten Commandments pretty much cover it all. But, one needs a sense of "Common Sense" to interpret them. Common sense is not-common.<br /><br />As said previously, we no longer have a common sense based justice system, we have a LEGAL system. All based on past cases, good or bad, doesn't matter. Only the precidence does. Very dangerous, IMHO.I disagree; a society will decide what is proper. Atheistic communist regimes have laws. Cannabalistic heathen tribes have codes of conduct, whether or not codified as "laws." We have a lot of laws that are completely unrelated to religion. Laws exist to aid society; surely you don't think that no one would have figured out that murder is bad for society if God hadn't put it in the 10 commandments. How did we decide to impose speed limits?<br />
