While McReynolds clearly respected the negative opinion of the project, he urged people not to take out their frustrations on local TxDOT employees.

No need for moral courage, we have the Nuremburg Defense.

Hitler's ovens were stoked by similar local lemming-employees who were 'just following orders' instead of doing what was right.

Cue: Schindler's List.

That’s a little over the top. I know the TTC is part of a larger plan of economic integration with Mexico and Canada, but we’re talking about constructing a road, not throwing millions of people into gas chambers. Besides, most local TxDOT employees are working on projects having nothing to do with TTC. No-one’s helping any cause by harrassing some 50-year-old with a kid in college, two more coming and a wife, because he pays for his bills by filling potholes.
