Good Thing I-5 is a Federal Highway

I can only guess that farmers' permission is needed to put up political signs - so far Thatcher and Dudley. With the emphasis on Dudley. Not a single Kitzhaber sign, or whoever Thatcher is running against.

If we liberals were to drive along state routes with these signs maybe they would try to tax us.

Oh but that would run counter to their philosophy, right..

I wonder how they think these fine highways get maintained. 18 cents per gallon of gas federal highway tax doesn't cut it.

Don't they like driving their nice big trucks and refuse mileage standards and most of them refuse to believe in global warming too?

Driving into oblivion for today - as if tomorrow doesn't matter. As if the fact that even highways across this huge country should be called into question since over 50% of the world's population lives in cities. Do they think it can't happen here?

Its already reality. Oh but, they prefer yesterday's reality - everyone has a quaint farm a Dudley sign on the lawn, maybe a stay at home wife too!

We all like to see the past with rose-colored glasses, well I know I do - but thats not going to get us to tomorrow.

(I promise no more mean blogs, there are enough out there, only this one..)
