To my fellow Americans

[Spicoli]

I think a lot of it again with those freedoms is the need to be self sustaining and responsible. Be it with education or what you eat the choices are limitless. Spot on about roads Xwetie. I do see a lot of short term thinking, we like things instant. The infrastructure of bridges, highways down to the simplest strip mall are not always the best or thought out. We build and build but just as soon close down store fronts. Locally we are infamous for our pot holes and the parish to parish or State infighting with funding of key city departments, maintenance and upkeep. They fix things with a half ass approach with little concern for real solution with local roadworks. The planning was seemingly done by someone who had only driven in video games and not the real world or the elements. I've driven across the country many times but the feeder roads, on ramps and off ramps in this city are death traps. You can close your eyes and tell when you hit the State lines on the highway..from bump bump bump to smoooooth drive in an instant when you hit Mississippi for example. Some of the biggest pot holes have names and corner stores will tell you give running counts on the wrecks.
