I agree. We have some excellent roadways/whatnot. We have work to do on a lot of stuff, but overall it's outstanding.

That part isn't accurate.

Here's what the FT said last year. http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/20c50478-ca16-11e3-ac05-00144feabdc0.html#axzz3j38itxGf

Such a large road network requires a lot of maintenance, and a few decades of underspending easily leads to a crisis.

Apparently I can't read it with out a membership. I do know some states are worse than others but Oregon, California and Washington are pretty good, I have no complaints. I drove across country in a big truck a few years back and West bygod Virginia was the only state with rough roads other than Iowa and Iowa had just had major flooding.

IMHO it's a cop's job to be patient and restrained, and not become entangled with the mind of a crazy, to maintain a mental distance.

Yep. They HAVE to be polite and restrained until it's time to NOT be polite and restrained.

This cops shoots a guy and then says sorry.

Precisely, (did you get that from Roadhouse?)

 

[MasterBlaster]

It was the inspiration, for sure.

That one happened about 90 miles from me. Court case is ongoing. Older reserve deputy playing cop in return for financial support to the Sheriff.

Sure, mistakes are made, but it is amazing that if you just be cool, this kind of stuff doesn't happen.
