the trans-texas corridor which is going to be a huge mega-road owned by foreigners has received a lot of criticism from small texas newspapers... what do you do to stop newspapers from criticizing you? buy them up of course...

I don't understand the newspaper thing, but I do know that this is how almost all toll-roads are built, with companies owning the lease for them and when the lease runs out, the state takes back over.

A psychotic world we live in. The madmen are in power. How long have we known this? Faced this? And--how many of us do know it? Perhaps if you know you are insane then you are not insane. Or you are becoming sane, finally. Waking up. I suppose only a few are aware of all this. Isolated persons here and there. But the broad masses... what do they think? All these hundreds of thousands in this city, here. Do they imagine that they live in a sane world? Or do they guess, glimpse, the truth...?
