As I remember you could blow the 55 in daylight in Montana for $5.

Agree ... But were not talking about safety here (the 55 limit).  That would
be my only contradiction.

Changing a sport for safety happens all the time.

I would suggest that factoring in the REASON for a rule change, could
grossly change the idea of "ruining" every sport.  Four strikes and you're
out?  Five downs and out?  55 mph for a national speed limit?  I'd suggest
that all rules should be continuously looked at in their context. Whimsical
changes?  No.  favoring somebody or some group?  No.  Rules changed for
changing conditions?  Yes.   Or so I see it.  Maybe I'm just old school.
Very, very old school.<G>
