The ability of people to do things ass backwards is amazing. Shortly The Commander and Kadizzle will go a few blocks and catch a bus to the Denver airport. In late April an amazing thing will happen. The new mass transit will be in operation. It will be possible to walk a few blocks get on a light rail and buzz right into the middle of the Denver airport.
This is all wonderful and great. Only one problem it should have been done 15 years earlier or right when they built the airport. Instead of installing a light rail the simple minded dingers built about 15 miles of four lane highway to the airport. Countless fuel and time has been wasted over the last 15 years because our country will not come to grips with mass transit. We are so stubborn about our need to have a car to take us every inch we go. Who in their right mind would want to do the car airport thing when you could buzz from an office in Denver right into the middle of the Denver Airport.
If high speed rail existed along the east and west coast billions of hours could be saved, billions of barrels of oil, and life would be better. Nothing happens because we are owned by the pharmaceutical companies, and the oil companies. Our lives are destroyed by the NRA and the gun lobby, our health care is the highest cost in the world because of the insurance companies and the drug companies, and we have the worst transportation system of any modern country because of the oil companies. To make it all worse the Republicans fund wars, but not highways so all the infrastructure is falling apart. Just like the needless deaths from guns, we have needless deaths from health care, and transportation. We have the resources to solve these problems, but instead we run around in a state of fright whipped up by the right wing.
