Trans Texas Corridor

[TexasNick]

Back in the 40s when they had the FM roads going up all through the ranches in Texas, farmers/ranchers were calling for the necks of politicians and screaming murder for tearing up their land.

Just a century later, these same vocal groups could not thank the politicans enough. Will the TT be the same? I dont' know, but I do know that we have no other choice..change is inevitable.

multinational corporations are backing this. this is not for the public good. it's an attack on property rights, the sovereignty of our nation, our borders, Texas truckers, farmers, ranchers, and tax payers, and it will forever change the face of our state.

Secession seems like a great idea...!

I haven't registered to vote here yet....and I may just forget the whole thing. There are no good candidates, and the next four years (God forbid, 8??) don't look very good.

Surely, surely, whoever we elect will not be the disaster that George W. Bush was/is. The three we are looking at now are no prizes, but I can't believe that they can possibly screw things up as bad as George and his friend Rick Perry.

Change may be inevitable, but that doesn't mean that we can't, and don't have a responsibility to, think about what kind of change we want and don't want and try to impact that change. That premise is, after all, pretty much what our country was founded on, correct?

If the "change is inevitable, so you might as well lie back and enjoy it" mindset were in existence back in the 1700's, we'd still be singing Rule Britannia as our national anthem.

I can....and I believe that any of the three are much, much worse. Having said that, as another poster said, both Bush and Perry make my skin crawl, too.

I see the TTC as a very, very bad idea because of the land grab (eminent domain is illegal for furthering private entities, but it is abused anyway) and the further erosion of our sovereignty. The worse you blur the borders south OR north...the worse it will become for the United States as a whole.

Illegal immigration is already destroying it bit by bit.

I am very glad to see that most Texans do not want this atrocity to happen. I was against it the very day I heard about it. We have enough road in the state as it is and with gas going up and not showing any signs of coming down, why waste our land and time. Why not just pave over the entire state while we're at it, Rick Perry and GWB. We'll be the envy of the western world.
