As much as people need "stop crying" - I frankly like the fact that the public for once is getting involved in an issue.
People have just been whipped into a frenzy by the Dinger Bell's of the world on this issue, if they would have picked something else to stand on a soapbox about then it would have been that the people were getting involved in.

Until the fiscal hawks start complaining about some of these billion dollar road projects and multi million dollar interchanges I just can't take them seriously.
