Link the metropolis to a dead area and watch the home values SKYROCKET.

Not too long ago I had a guy chewing my ear off about this, talking about the waste. This same guy went off on a tangent about what a crying shame it was that the Space Shuttle was being retired. ???

Personally I'll take the trains. I'm right with the Liberals on this one. We need more mass transit and better transport infrastructure. It's a top priority in this country right now along with education, immigration reform and national defense.

Saddles and zip codes, passports and gates, the Jones' keep.
In August the water is trickling, in April it's furious deep.
