Hi non-debating Dave, I'm in New York, and I was a transportation junkie. I would enjoy standing on top of the "subway" elevated platform at Woodside in Queens, where it crosses over the Long Island Railroad tracks. One night, there I was, listening (...)

(...) I'm not unaware that you're calling down "the law". In fact, I'm pretty sure it already happened. I just don't have any respect for that ideology. You can call whatever you like "artificial" and get listeners. If you still think "profit" is (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

In a class I took a few years back here at the U of Pittsburgh (History of the Holocaust), it was pointed out that Hitler's Nazis only had ~33% of the vote in 1933, when Hitler became part of the German (...)

This is certainly true--a related problem with mass transit involves the current impossibility of on-demand convenience; if I want to pick up a few groceries, I can hop in a car and be there and back in twenty-five minutes.
