When will Houston have world-class mass public transit?
When can we expect this by? Why don't we have trains running along the I-45 and 59 and 288 and 290 corridors? This is insane.

When the Republicans are run out of office by Progressive Democrats. There's a reason we needed Change in Houston--the politicians are in bed with the oil lobbyists in Washington. Unbelievably prostitution is extremely popular in D.C.; more so than the reputed Las Vegas. Coincidence?
Oh yeah! How much longer do I have to wait for my commuter train? I can't wait for the lobbyists to go away for much longer. The free market pols aren't giving me the free market choices.

Dallas doesn't even have a world class mass public transit yet (until they expand DART to D/FW) & Houston is light years behind Dallas.

Ah Progressives, the bringers of such wonders as Jim Crow Laws, erosion of State's Rights, and New Deal price controls.

Two can play this game.
But the Republican Party is crumbling (and I thought the Democrats were crumbling in 2004 but the R's are even in worse shape now than we were then. Palin will save them? Ouch!). It seems they have been pushing some Libertarian Ideals like deregulation...woops and "Government is the problem" (Reagan's favorites) mixed in with the Christian Rightism (that I hate so much after growing up in this state). I think the Libertarian Party can come out of obscurity and finally take the place of the obsolescent Republican Party. It will be fun figuring out how to challenge a new paradigm. Good luck to the Libertarians! |

But you can surely shoot someone in a locked Ford, and a loaded gun may well force you out. Here in Texas you have more options for self-defense than you do in some states. |
