And the ones who willingly choose to disobey the laws are not law abiding citizens anymore, they are outlaw.

LOL! So the 85% of drivers who willingly speed on the highways are "outlaws"?

Anyway, the use of the term doesn't bother me in the least, since our country was founded by a group of outlaws.

and he should be willing to face the penalties for so doing.

As should those who pass or attempt to enforce laws infringing upon the Rights of Free men and women.

Yes. Ask the police. I feel no sympathy for speeders when the police deliver their rewards. Or when they kill themselves or end up in prison for killing someone else.

This statement sounds like it could easily be construed as a terroristic threat under much of the recently passed legislation. I would suggest that you strongly clarify yorself if you didn't mean it this way. We live in times that make it unwise to make threats on politicians and law enforcement, even from behind a screen name. And if you did mean it as a threat, well, like I mentioned earlier, you should be willing to accept the consequences for doing so.

Yes, by definition, they are. Personally, I do not speed...ever. I use my vehicle's cruise control feature to help me with that goal. I even slow to 25mph in school zones, although I see very very others doing so. That speed limit seems quite rational.

If a law is badly drawn, or wrong, we have the means to change it, built right into our system. Until we change it, those who break the law break the law. If you drive 75 in a 65 zone, you may be ticketed and pay a fine. It's that simple. I prefer not to pay those fines, and I'm not in that much of a hurry.
