Hitting the Grundlegung at 55 MPH (Edmundson)

In a remarkable video, "A Meditation on the Speed Limit," a group of Atlanta-area students asks whether those who observe the posted speed limit act in accordance with a maxim that they can at the same time will to become a universal law.  Billed as "An Extraordinary Act of Public Obediance [sic]," five drivers poke along at 55 mph, side by side, as a plug of frustrated rational beings develops behind them.  Some of the rational beings, unwilling to be treated as anything other than ends in themselves, make vivid their disapproval.  (Thanks to Sean Devetter for the pointer.)
