People are NOT demanding it with their choices, they are demanding it with their voices. BIG BIG DIFFERENCE THERE. When the buses are full 24/7 then the need for more mass transit will be apparent. Vote NO on the RTID.

I don't think I will EVER understand.

Especially since the US Senate is holding hearings on a law requiring all vehicle and transit emissions per state to be reduced 70 percent by 2020, while the RTID/ST2 increases them.

It was a great column, by the way.

Actually, it'd also be cool if you brought up the Tuesday Frontline episode on more ways Dick Cheney is subverting the U.S. Constitution to make our President our King, and why the D's are fighting for children's health care (good) but wimp out on pulling our troops from Iraq, citizen protections from our BIG government, or making the administration follow the laws of the land instead of issuing signing statements saying Bush doesn't have to follow the law (or Constitution).

He's following Jack's advice to start the drunkdriverVenus.com website instead.

Venus will counter by saying she's a nicer drunk than Jane Hague, and actually has a Bachelor's degree (and Master's, for that matter). Venus will also say that she meant to get caught drunk driving to illustrate how important that we pass Proposition 1 and give drinkers more alternatives to get home.

You could also ask why more hasn't been made of the fact that the Seattle Times reported on Saturday: "When Jane Hague was appointed King County's manager of records and elections in 1986, she submitted a résumé that claimed a college degree she didn't have." Isn't that illegal or something?
