Fangorn, Ambivalent would be a good word to describe our highways. Colorado use to be such a beautiful state. Not so much anymore... What got me fired up about 15 years ago is when the federal govt. threaten to withhold highway funds to states, if they didn't increase the drinking age to 21. I still believe if you are old enough to die for your country, you're old enough to have a beer. It was an example of the govt. holding the states hostage. -Mana

OK, everybody who would rather ride the rails line up behind Fanghorn. Message #281514 from Fangorn at Jul 29, 2002 3:05 PM Mana, I remain ambivalent about the Interstate for a couple reasons. It arguably killed a vibrant rail system in this country and inarguably contributed to urban sprawl by putting so much real estate within commuting distance of the urban centers which posthaste lost great chunks of the middle and upper classes which lead to the inner city decay we have suffered ever since. Let's blame poor inner city schools on the Interstate system. ggg
