You know it... that's what I detest most about the East coast. (Sorry bout that all ya eastern hobbits...) It's like they don't even *notice* tolls out there. They're totally conditioned to them now and they don't notice.
Somehow it has to occur to people that it is merely a device to fund local corruption with a ready supply of utterly untraceable cash.

I don't think we have ANY toll roads in Vermont. They're all over in Southern NH, though. I hates 'em. For one thing (and I know this is sad) I don't really have much depth perception (part of the reason heavy traffic freaks me out) and I have a really hard time getting the coins in those little things unless I get so close my tires rub.
But I've only had to drive down that way once or twice in the last few years, so most of the time I don't have to deal with 'em. Yay!

I'm getting more and more disgusted with the emergence of "toll roads" in Texas cities. It's like - they forgot how to be Texan anymore. That stuff don't go with this place. And I don't like it one little bit!
hehehe... but it is Texas, and I do know how to go around the ones here.

"Somehow it has to occur to people that it is merely a device to fund local corruption with a ready supply of utterly untraceable cash." That's not too far off from a good description of taxes in general: money confiscated by government and politicians from the citizens, to be used to finance a rapid increase of power needed to arbitrarily control the same citizens, in the best interests of the state.
