>> Visit Germany and go on the Autobahn. The Autobahn has fewer accidents, despite the greater speeds, than US highways.<< From what I know of it, in the portions where it is designed to go as fast as you want, the high speeds are possible, but in the portions where it is two lanes each way, normal speed limits exists. The autobahn is not typical of the American highway in design. So I don't think it's exisitence refutes my point. Nor does marginally raising speed limts. My example was a driver who has the ability to drive at the limits of his car. Not 75 compared to 65. >>I want a definition of the common good that I (and others) can live with. Problem with it is that you can't do it.<< Problem is what you want me to define is unclear. You could describe many situations as being constructed for the common good. Everything from laws to the construction of a building. A door has a handle for the common good to be able to open it. Not to be a smart ass, but give me a cleaer undertsanding of the type of common good which with you have a problem, with and we can discuss it. But I have a feeling it will be a case by case issue, not a general one. Scott
