Business Road Congestion Charging?

I'm 100% pro-congestion charging, if a company based upon market incentive finds a price point to maintain, operate, and handle road needs on a profitable non-taxpayer subsidized basis and no money comes out of my pocket unless I USE the road.  If

Negativity

Recently a lot of the blogs I've posted too have become rather negative. I'm generally a fairly positive guy so I've decided that my only political banter will be limited to my blog for now. So I'll be dissappearing for a bit. Two articles I'd like

Public Mass Transit! Commissioner Sam asks by proxy, "Does it work?"

I don't know if this will trackback via the blogging product he uses, but we'll see...  my retort to many of the posts and content of this blog entry he made.So according to the report about Conservatives (whatever and whyever this title is still

Republic vs. Democracy Pt. 2

So I just made my entry about me wanting my Republic back and rid of this silly and non-factual idea of a democracy that the US currently has.  No sooner do I go reading something new on the internet and whammo there is this perverted blight in an

Road Ticket Rant!

Ok, so I have to take this stupid driving course to relieve myself from paying a speeding fine I got a while back.  It's a 4 hour course that usually takes a smart individual about 30 minutes to take. Needless to say it is insulting, to sit there

My Transportation Viewpoint: Individual Freedom and Market Liberty

Ok, ok, ok.  We can't just do what I'd like, completely reduce transit subsidies to zero tomorrow.  It would definately cause a hard landing of the economy as sectors scrambled to figure out funding methods and create business plans.

To Hell with Democracy, I want my Republic back!

I was reading some things this weekend while working on some tech stuff over at a friend's house.  One of the chapters of this book I was reading was in reference to the simple fact that up until FDR America was not in any way considered a Democracy.

GM Develops itself into 1966!

What a great development right back to the late 60's.  Releasing several years after the Mustang just like before, history repeating itself.  It seems just about 5-6 years after that a little problem with "oil" occurred and these car's power

The Beggers just keep Demanding!!

I still don't get it, why can't people - especially one theoretically as smart as said software developer that created the mockery of the mockery Snakes on a Plane - to NOT understand the basic economics of sustainable transit modes?  The Feds are

So I learned Something New and Horrific Today!

So there are these things, which are actively utilized by the Bush Administration and have been used by the Clinton Administration also.  Namely they where created by the Clinton Administration.  These things are called "Free Speach Zones".

High Quality and Top Caliber Police?

Why wouldn't cops cheat?  There is no real reason that they would normally be able to pass their tests.  Many police forces barely require a high school or GED to get in.The police have for ages been nothing but a brute force strength employed

Disruption?

So Topherama posted an entry about the disruption caused by the foiled terrorists' plot.  He is so right on the money in his statement.  We don't really need this level of "stupidity" protection.  They foiled the plot without oppressing

One of those political blog sites that points out our modern media mess!

Little Green Footballs  So it's not my defacto source or anything, but none the less points out some very obvious and troublesome media screw ups.  Such as the recent issues with the Reuters Israel/Lebanon/Hamas/etc. image mess.

The death of nDoc

Being a Libertarian I see no reason why someone should not be allowed to freely give away their hard work but I do see a big question of why would one want to?  Recently per the death of NDoc I see a real life example of why Open Source can be very

Atlas Shrugged

So I went digging arond on the internet and found two entries here and here real quick about the upcoming Atlas Shrugged Movie Adaptation.  From the articles it looks like there will be three parts and from the budget of the first being around 40
