"Mike Dahmus denied the oil production crisis a few years ago when I was 
warning about it, more recently supported the toll roads, and now

regard for his opinion in such matters."

OK, you jackass, you finally got me mad.

1. There STILL is no oil production crisis. This doesn't mean that it's 
not on its way, just that your posts every couple of weeks about it for 
the last decade or ten were premature and irritating, just like you.

2. I supported the toll roads because I'm not a complete moron like 
yourself who thinks that the other alternative was "no roads". The 
choice in the REAL world was between toll roads and more free roads IN 
THE SAME PLACES. NONE of these toll roads weren't ALREADY in the CAMPO 
plan. The ONLY DIFFERENCE is that suburbanites will have to pay direct 
user fees when they use these roads instead of (more of) the cost being 
pawned off on drivers and non-drivers in the center-city as is the 
practice with free roads.

3. I HEARTILY SUPPORT passenger rail. My experience IN THE REAL WORLD 
with a system JUST LIKE the one being proposed by Capital Metro now 
(South Florida's Tri-Rail) is that it's the stupidest possible way to 
start a rail network, one that will likely destroy momentum for REAL 
URBAN RAIL after its construction for 15 years as it did in South Florida.

In short: if you can't talk about me without lying your ass off, as you 
did in #3 above, then shut the hell up.
