You want pathetic? What about poor Brandon Howell?

From what I hear, it is mostly based on how much the city is willing to bend backwards to accommodate a quick rollout. Google doesnt have to work with uncooperative cities.

This is true. Overland Park got dropped because the city government was being uncooperative.

Mass Transit in the US cannot work. Why? Because it puts prey (middle class White men and women) next to predators (inner city Blacks and Hispanics, many Mexican nationals).

This is the brutally honest reason why the LA Blue Line, the Green Line, and various subway systems don't work. There are a lot folks who commute into LA's downtown and would like to avoid large daily parking fees. Ever look around at the Blue/Green lines? They are hideous, no-go for Whites Third World hell-holes. Filled with homeless, gang-bangers, various casual criminals. As are the buses that traverse LA. Atlanta's MARTA, the Bay Area BART system, and DC's Metro is the same way.

White middle class people don't like being victimized. Making mass transit safe means lots of racial profiling, summary arrest of Black/Mexican criminals, for things such as public urination, hassling people, shake-down robberies, and carrying weapons.

That is politically impossible: the NAACP, Urban League, La Raza, MALDEF, and a zillion other racial/ethnic interest and lobbying groups won't allow it.

The brutal honest truth is that America buys social peace: Blacks and Hispanics can run riot and embrace criminality (like the 13 year old White boy set on fire by two Black "youths") while the White middle class avoids them by living in distant suburbs and driving private cars to insulate them from the criminal behavior.

America needs cheap gas for social peace. Yeah, that's ugly. Brutal truth -- no one said Diversity did not cost. A lot. America is not the Balkans because Whites can avoid by cheap gas Black/Hispanic criminal victimization.

Yes that's "racist." Ask yourself honestly: would you travel in the ghetto or barrio daily if you could avoid it? This LA Times Article does not show a single White person on the Blue Line. Check it out for yourself.

Three letters? WTF?

Damn it, now they're going to have to change the password again.

Serious trouble, like turning a pump off for a 54" main...

Random example off the top of my head: an American citizen is held without being charged with a crime, without trial or bail, for eight months. Wait, let me guess. It doesn't count, because he's a brown American.

I think that those ginormous tax cuts for the extraordinarily wealthy may have had some effect on the debt. Just maybe. That, and the $100bn+ adventure in Iraq.

*cough* Abstinence-only education *cough*. When they require teaching abstinence, and disallow teaching anything else, that makes it 'abstinence-only'. Get it?

If you're going to talk smack, can you at least talk the kind of smack that can't be refuted with five minutes of Googling?
