    Nationwide? that rocks. I would be traveling every weekend.

    @Animeniax 300hp is that much even used? it must consume quite a bit...

    ie, peoples' income taxes are funding other peoples' abilities to ride for free. Same as with universal healthcare.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    I think some "government institutions" are worthwhile and in the common interest, like roads and bridges and such. But I don't like the idea of paying for other peoples' bus rides or healthcare. Though the more people take the bus, the fewer are jamming up traffic. So maybe I'm on the fence about public funding of mass transit.

    But I'm firmly against public healthcare. The sick people who can't afford healthcare can all just go live on an island.

    How much do you think you're going to lose in wages to be able to provide the poor of this country with basic access to medical care?
