Annapolis Capital Punishment

The Capital urges the Governor to consider building another span to cross the Bay Bridge. http://www.hometownannapolis.com/cgi-bin/read/2007/08_31-30/OPN

Puhleeze, somebody pass me the antacid. Before 1952, there was no bridge. Then we built a bridge. Then it brought development, which brought traffic. We built another bridge in 1972. It brought more traffic. Now the folks whose heads are stuck back in the sands of the 1950's want to build more bridges and more roads. That will in turn bring about more traffic and then more calls for yet more bridges! Even if gasoline were cheap and readily available, would this be a good roadmap for the future?

Alas, cheap fossil fuel is coming to an end. HUMANS-PREPARE NOW! As with streakers--the folks who used to strip naked and run in public places in the early 1970's, OUR END IS IN SIGHT.

All this in a world coming to grips with a human-induced and perhaps severe, global warming trend and in an area rated nationally for its unhealthy air. (Hint-making it easier to drive is not the answer)

LET'S GET THIS STRAIGHT----ROADS AND CARS ARE THE PROBLEM. THEY ARE NOT ITS SOLUTION.

Now that CP has vented, allow him to climb off his high horse for a second. The skeptics among you are asking, okay CP, what is the answer? We'll all find out soon enough. The circle is closing. Time is running out. Sorry the picture is not prettier, but business as usual, as in applying 1950's solutions to 21st century challenges will not last. Sorry, I guess I could not climb off my high horse, but it's time we climbed out of our cars...
