If you have ate vegetables as most have had them they are gross.

You are a slave and should opt out of those things.

Your proble is you know what is and cannot imangine what could be.

It is stupid not to. It doesn't cost much and makes transit so much nicer.

Guns are designed to kill deer, ducks, and other animals that I want to kill. That they can kill humans is not intentional.

That argument isn't much different from the argument that cars are for getting around and that they can kill is not intentional. If you care about death, then by every metric you need to ban cars first.

In this case the rails are already there but unused.

That is also several strike against this. Those rails exist but they are all in really bad shape as they were nearly universally used without maintenance until it was no longer feasible. They are also generally in bad areas where there isn't much need for more transport - we already have roads in good shape (to run a bus on). The only thing this has over a bus is you can run them fully automated - which isn't enough IMO.

While you are not wrong, you should always strive to perfection. Running train transit 24x7x365 is low hanging fruit (modern fully automated trains exist - note that the topic here is trains not buses). You do need to do something about maintenance, so I'll let you get by with 30 minute headways overnight, while during the day you should be running every 5 minutes.

I know it is true almost everywhere, but that doesn't make it acceptable. People need to get places, transit is just a tool.

That isn't acceptable. One person who for whatever reason is out late (emergency at work, or invited to a party) will be screwed when they can't get back home and tell everyone else.

There are lots of ways to hide guns. One person who is a legal gun owner who doesn't approve of the law can hide them for his friends. Do not assume Illinois is united on this, enough voters are to pass a law, but gun owners consider this a tyranny of the majority and are sticking together

In a lot of rural areas where guns are most common the police don't approve of the law. They won't ask for a warrant in the first place. If someone else asks for one they will give plenty of warning to the person to be searched - or they will just take the warrant and throw it away without searching. If forced to search they will ignore you moving guns past the front door when they knock, then when the door opens find no guns in plane sight in the front room and leave.

If you can't get to work during a cold snap than either you are not charging your battery (that is your stupid fault), or live a lot farther from work than the average person and really need to move anyway.

I've wanted one for many years - but so far there is still no EV minivan for sale, and that is what my family needs right now.
