You're welcome.

I just don't see big security problems worthy of abandoning the project.


I believe one of the original purposes of the Interstate highway system was to facilitate the movement of troops or civilians in the event of a war or an attack. Makes one wonder how an invading force might make use of the TTC.


Regardless, this comes down to those looking for a Utopian future where nature and cultural identity are a thing of the past and the folks who wish to stick to the traditions that make this state great. DON'T MESS (PAVE OVER) WITH TEXAS!

I am rural folk. My family has been on the land in Cooke County for seven generations. We have degrees and advanced degrees. We also know how to DO things, not just spout and spew and plan. We are not the ignorant clod-hoppers you portray us to be. And we feel like we're being "had" by Rick Perry and his dratted plan to take our way of life.

It's not just you and your family's way of life that is being taken away. Meanhwile, you, I and the rest just sit by and let them take it. I could write for an hour about how the public schools have taken away my life and how government officials have given life to the immoral, the Godless, the rule-breakers, etc., etc. ad nauseum.
