    sucks about the bridge, but, if it had a sufficient positive economic impact, it would be fixed/replaced. time for people to move, i guess.

    no politics is a forum policy. it's not censorship, just reading comprehension.

    One in ten State bridges are in " as bad a condition or worse as the Champlain bridge ". 21 in the Albany area alone.
    So your solution to "socialism" is more socialism (in the form of using the people's money to repair highways)? Why should someone in NYC have to pay for those roads??! They don't even have cars!!!!!

    Let the free market decide!! Like in Indiana, where they sold off the roads to private companies!

    Never mind that the tolls have gone up, the quality of the road hasn't improved, and people prefer to travel on the adjacent publicly owned road. No more socialism!!!!!!! Also.

    whoa! Matt, the State highway fund is money from gasoline tax and other taxes paid to support the highway system. DUH! it's not taking other people's money, it's money people pay specificly for roads. that money has been pilfered for other social causes. why are you so grouchy that i merely mentioned it? Hehehe...is your welfare check late? Is that why you bailed on the ski movie the other night? Quote..." Tix were way more expensive than i thought...I bailed. "....you couldn't afford it?

    your argument is not very intelligent. the people in NYC shouldn't have to pay for roads cause they don't have cars? LMAO. they have cars! NYC people use roads every freegin day - Even the ones that don't have cars use roads. how do you think they get to work or get the very food and supplies that keeps them alive? ROADS!!! how do you think the emergency services get to their homes? ROADS!!! how do you think their kid's school buses get to school? ROADS!!!

    that stuff just doesn't pop outta thin air like your crazy ideas. It's hauled in on the roads. without roads, even the people without cars would starve and freeze, therefore they should and do pay road taxes. Good thing you're not in charge! 8 million people in NYC and you think they don't have cars? hehehe. hate to shatter your charade Matt, but there's lots and lots of vehicles on the roads down there and they aren't all just passing thru on their way to gaze and wonder at your fabulously fallible self. here's more proof.....

    I never said i had a solution to socialism and i never proposed more socialism, so you're wrong again Matt. keep your fallacies and false accusations to yourself.

    i'm getting a lil tired of your on going rippin on me for no reason. my very first post questioned the flatness of Cedars and you pounced on me for that. Yet, you yourself have since, yes even recently, posted on the flatness of Cedars. Your hypocrisy is showing yet again Matt. your lack of integrity is typical of a person of your ilk. As usual, once again, it turns out I was right and you were wrong. Nay nay nay nay nana!!! I'm lmao at you Matt. hehehe.

    I suppose you might come back with some BS and lies in a lame effort to save face, but reality will not bear you out.

    this is a good read, regardless of me agreeing or not.

    lets allow some "soft" politics, but ban weather talk - that weather discussion is all same and keeps popping out in almost every thread

    Right. i would say the defacto dividing line is talking about election candidates and hot button issues.....things that reflect opinions not established facts of our world.

    Simply posting a fact like the highway fund was pilfered for other social causes hardly crosses the line. if so, then how could we ever discuss Gore, Face, Orda actions? they're a political body. or the proposed ski lift ticket tax? or the state threatening not to fund our mtns? Orda threatening to withhold approved ski bowl lift funds? or the ski bowl project itself or loss of the Empire Games, or LP police, or the convention center .... all this has political aspects. or the expansion of Gore with state grant money. on and on and on. We've been openly discussing this stuff for a long, long time and nobody said nothing!

    Only now did Puddles try and censor me with the no politics clause. He failed.

    He just likes to give me chit....right Puddles?
