after all we can't say that all greenies are commies or hippies
or stoned-out tree-hugging dole-bludging parasitic luddites who have
wet dreams about living in some utopian fantasy can we?
(and you're wrong about landcruisers too, mine goes up hills perfectly
well (not as fast as my motorbike though of course), doesn't blow smoke
and isn't driven by a "dork brain")

that's just silly, public infrastructure like roads, public
transport, water, sewerage etc etc shouldn't be expected to make
money - they're the sort of things govts are there to provide for
the benefit for all (well that's what govts should be for anyway!).
