Tolls here in the good old USA are becoming more prevalent all over. I went to Flordia (Disney World, and went to the space center etc) and there were tolls every few miles. The cost wasn't more then, If I remember right, 10-25 cents. Here in Ohio, we have the Turnpike which is a toll road. I'm with Trajan, as long as the money for the tolls goes for the up keep of the highway, I have no problem paying, its the cost of quick access to where your going and worth the money in the long run, in fact during the winter the Turnpike is probably the best plowed interstate in Ohio vs some of the others we have I-71, I480 etc. A road tax, if it was only and used only for the road up keep, I believe most people would be for it. The problem would be to keep the politicians from using the money for their pet projects instead. The Ohio Lottery was originally supposed to go for our schools, well, in reality that is not the case, not all that money goes to them. If I'm not mistaken Michigan either still has or used to have a highway tax and their interstates were always in great shape compared to a lot of other states. Just my 2 cents worth
Saxon, its most illuminating to see you posting once again, also the Gryphin, Now if we can only get Mephisto back from his partying to partake of the new cantina.... but until he returns, TAZ, PUT THE DRINKS ON HIS TAB...
Tesco, I must say you did wonders with the new patio here at the new improved cantina, and the new outdoor FBW outfits are most appreciated to us older, more mature, studious, minions of the study of the farther reaches of the cosmos, aahh
Tigga, the scientific information on the Line Dancing Boogie was researched in depth thru various universities and in which The Gryphin most selflessly added his own research input into the study of this barbaric ritual and which I understand is becoming somewhat of a fad in some of the Europeans countries once more. If one looks closly at the Minuet one can see a resemblence to the current day boogie which is just a modern day Version of the older dance from way back, Thus, you see that Line Dancing has been around for quite some time and was used by everyone's forefathers at one time or another and we are just now reclaiming the heritage from everyones past
just some ideas mac
