Yeah. What about the road in front of my house? Does it make any money?

It bugs me that you haven’t brought up roads yet.

Thanks for the contribution, Highwayman. Curious to see if you have any other views to share, maybe about roads.

CP, even when I disagree with you, which isn’t very often, I always respect your contribution to the discussion.

Though you want double standards.

If roads are not subjected to existing on profits or losses basis, neither should railroads.

When I visited Portland I found the transit service to very good, as well as easy to walk around too.

msetty, whether I can or cannot be taken seriously is besides the point. I’m not the one boasting of multiple degrees and an ability to bring stakeholders together to solve issues. I’m just a private individual with opinions. Given Danny Boy’s behavior on this blog all along, I (along with anyone else from the general public) would have to conclude that those are outright lies. Surely no one trained in the manner he claims could publicly stoop to such behavior while freely admitting he’s a government employee.

And if you will take notice, he posts inflammatory material in response to everyone, not just in reply to me. In fact, quite frequently Danny Boy is the first with harsh, contemptuous words for posters on this blog. I guarantee you that civilized behavior from him would immediately raise the level of discourse from everyone else, and frankly, I’m surprised that you defend him. I disagree with your website and positions, but are you trying to promote your ideas through intelligent discourse, or simply smearing the opposition? Forget about “me”, for the moment. I’m a private individual with no government power to wield, and no desire to wield any such power. I suspect the same can’t be said for Dan.
