I'm not Aries or Acid Snake, but I for one think good government is a terrific thing to advocate and promote. I sincerely doubt Aries or Acid Snake would disagree...unless, of course, you're one of those who really means "less public goods and services and more, more, more tax cuts" when he says "good government."

Cha CHING!!! This is amazing, this is what needs to happen in this area! Atlanta is historically a railroad town and what better way to add to the culture of the town than bring back the volume of passenger trains for commuter rail use! I'm an aspiring transportation engineer...and the ATL has a lot of existing infrastructure that isn't exploited! The answers and solutions are staring you all in the face, ask your northern transplants about mass transit in their previous locations, its more or less the only option for mobility if you'd like to keep your quality of life, get to work in a reasonable amount of time and boost the economic engine of the area. Smart public transit breeds business growth, Atlanta's potential is HUGE. The bickering in the surrounding counties of Atlanta (yes including Fulton) is repulsive, get your ostrich heads out of the sand, wake up to reality and know that the more bickering that goes on will only continue to add cars to the road, add gridlock mile after mile, and before you know it you have an LA sized problem in Metro Atlanta. Ok? Thanks, bye.
