I was driving on state Highway 25 the other day and I would swear I saw Lawrence of Arabia. The dust from the road was so intense it might've been Obama however. What is the purpose of applying tons of very small crushed rocks 90 percent of which is dust on the highway? The dust clouds that are created hang around for weeks. Can anyone explain to me what the benefit versus losses this process accomplishes?
Also in a country that allegedly is so energy conscious, why doesn't the highway department place a portable sign up at the last crossroads before roadwork begins? This would give the downtrodden tax slave a chance to take another route, thus saving all that energy that is wasted sitting at a highway worksite that you could've been warned about a half-mile back down the highway. I lobbied for at least 30 years in California to get the highway department to do this simple thing. I'll probably have just about as much luck here in Indiana which was zero in California.
Oh, I almost forgot tax slaves. How many of you know that $9 billion in cash on pallets were flown to Afghanistan by several U.S. transport planes. Upon arrival this stash of cash was unloaded and disappeared immediately into thin air. This considering Afghanistan's entire internal budget is only 2 billion a year.
If you see a lot of sheep herders driving Rolls-Royce's in poppy land you may be onto something.
Have you heard any politician screaming for the scalps of those who were in charge of this $9 billion in cash. Let me know if you hear of one.
