i have a problem with more than a few of these, and there are a bunch not mentioned.
first. this is a grand quote. "At least two more states approved measures to protect the restaurants and fast-food chains that serve up fattening food from being sued. Illinois and Missouri joined at least 10 other states to outlaw such litigation. Their message: People make people fat, not restaurants."
People make people fat, not restaurants. Yet somehow a gun company can be found to blame? Not that I'm a huge gun totin supporter or anything, but where is the common sense and how can it be applied in one area but not another?
Also, here in Illinois, tolls have doubled if you don't have an iPass, which is a device that you put in your car that gets scanned on the tollway and deducts from your credit card. Great, now I have a fucking tracking device in my vehicle. Wonderful. Why double tolls?!? To help with congestion. Wow. I would have thought adding more lanes exiting from a 12 gate tollbooth from 2 to I don't know, maybe 12 would make more sense. Cause that would speed things up, not making fuckers go through the toll faster, only to find 12 lanes still merge into 2.
What is wrong with the government?!? Is it just me?!? What f-ed up laws have just passed in your neck of the woods?!?

so the toll went from 40 cents to 80?
And can anyone explain to me why it costs $8 to get into Staten Island? Why? I lived in Staten Island for 2 years. It's not worth $8.
- k0na_an0k0
the tolls range from .15 to .50 cents. in some places on the far west parts of i80 and i88 the tolls are a $1 up to $2.
sucks for out of state truckers and tourists.

Kona, us Chicagoans are not going to not go to ikea simply because it will cost us twice as much to get there!
Minimalism comes at a price my friend!

- JazX0
sh*t, f*cking tool-roads and taxes were invented in PA. b*stards never were in on the tea-party.
- mrdobolina0
something has to pay for the roads and why not the drivers?
- grayhood0

I live in Indianapolis. I drove past the Indy Raceway lastnight. The road that goes past it is so torn to shreads from ice and winter that I think I might have bent a rim. Our taxes are not going where they should.
