Call it what you want, stealing, redistribution, tribute, taxes whatever. No - you can call it what *you* want, but, once again, who said anything about stealing? A rather strange non-sequitur. What the gentleman, Mr Madison, was talking about wasn't stealing, it was protecting the class

Really, I would think the profession has the same ratio of angels and devils as any other profession. Especially since traffic and pedestrian engineers are civil engineers. I just love the guy who designs the roads but doesn't even hold a drivers licence. [I have met several in Calgary and

I would go so far as to say that most Americans have not the foggiest idea, of what the constitution is about let alone what it means for them. Add into it, the fact that many politicians have given people the wrong idea about what their rights are, in order to stay in office, and you have the

Andrew: I am replying to this second-hand because of a messup with my email program. 1 death per 6546 in the USA Vs 1 death per 11304 in Australia This means that you are nearly twice as likely to die on the roads in the US as you are in Australia. By one way of looking at things.

RE: [biofuel] Extreme Engineering

You don't just design roads as an individual. There are standards that have been derived over time that have to be met for Federal subsidized road. Personal expression or artistic latitude in the design just isn't. My daughter is an engineer for the Department of Transportation (DOT). She has

I was on Granville Mall, Vancouver, yesterday. Nice and peaceful and safe. Only city buses, taxis etc. can travel that street. Lots of big green trees along the street and there would be no smog at all to disrupt their growth if all vehicles were electric or hydrogen. If all future city streets

To compare driving fatalities of the USA with other countries on a per capita basis is worthless. There needs to be consideration of the higher miles/person driven in a year. People do everything by car in the US, from shopping, working, commuting, entertainment, to the Sunday drive for no

Keith, I made close to 3,000,000 km in my life and around 40,000 of them in US. Apart from the discussion about SUV and heavy vehicles, in which we have some clear common points, I have some other opinions concerning the majority of accidents in US. It is my experience, that in most parts of
