Besides if it runs like mass transit light rail that we built
in Portland Oregon it will only run at 20% capacity. Tben
because the light rail by the time it is built no longer
servers the population growth, they will keep trying to
expand the light rail at increasing costs.

Check the light rail projects in Portland for the real costs
and figures.

It will carry 1/2 of one percent of the traffic.
It has been calculated that if it is always full of people going to
work, it would still be cheaper to send them pay checks, forever, than
to build the mass transit.

It took but seconds of research to discover gasp that
"conservatives" and Sunday Fundies have huge problems with
actual numbers. Is this a learned trait or one that just evolved?
The result of generations of "home schooling" and genetic

Cliff, you are a moron. Clark's statement was an accurate reflection of the
truth regarding the proposed light rail project in Seattle. Your "answer"
could have just as well have come out your ass.

The problem with the project referenced is not that it's publicly funded,
but rather that it's a colossal waste of money, does not solve the problem
addressed, does not go where people want to go, and instead is designed to
line the pockets of rich construction interests, big labor interests, big
finance interests, and their purchased politicos. It's billions of dollars
wasted that could have paid for, say, treatment for you to overcome your
profound mental debility.

As for the swipe at home-schoolers, the dark truth that the government
education bureaucracy wants to bury is that home-school kids as a group
accomplish better measurable educational results in an average three hours
per day than government schools accomplish in seven. Of course this is to be
expected, given the demonstrated greater personal commitment to the child's
education and the lack of wasteful distractions such as simply trying to
keep order.

But of course you can't grasp any of this. Is this a learned trait or just
congenital results of being born with your head in your anus?
