This guy sounds like he was totally unprepared and even left it to his poor to his wife. I bet his wife hates do anything with him. in the end its was obvious he ahqd a clue which caused most of his problems.It would have been better to leave him at home not to have to putup with his whinning.I can just hear his constantly bitching doig anyhtign that needs documention. The guy is a drag;pure and simple.

Late 20's. Really? I was guessing late teens. Your stated preference for dirt roads to the national highway system and for everyone to burn their own trash rather than pay for municipal trash pickup made me think that you were either very young, or had never been out of a very small home town, or both.

I don't have a preference for dirt roads to paved roads. I was merely saying a private company can pave a road don't need government to do it. Yes we burn our trash here its cheaper and easier to do so.

If there were 1.4 million people living in the surrounding 25 square miles, don't you think air quality would suffer just a bit if everyone did that?

It would also be cheaper and easier for a company to dump toxins in a stream running by you than to dispose of them properly. I guess you'd be fine with that too, eh?

No I wouldn't like it but if its THEIR property then not for me to decide that.

One burning trash pile in the country may not be a big deal. A million burning trash piles in a city would be a huge, stinking, dangerous mess.

And do you really think that a private company could have built and maintained the federal highway system? What would have happened when the private company got to an area of land owned by someone who didn't want to sell? Would the road just stop there? What about what are now state and city roads? Should people have to pay a toll every time they enter a city? What if the builder of these roads didn't want just anyone to drive on them? What if they didn't want white men to drive on them? Or vehicles larger than a ton? What if the private road builder was an environmentalist and decreed that no truck containing dangerous materials could drive down the road?

They would go around them then,no toll. I think the town or the people of a town would contract with the company in return the people would give the company either money or some other services for the company in return for the paved road. All those things you mentioned we already have roads like that.
