mostly its because there was no plan, and people are convinced that living in a secluded area where they dont interact with their neighbors, and need to drive 30 minutes to ANYTHING.
Then theres the NIMBY mindset who wont allow roads to be built that will satisfy capacity.
And the absolute avoidance of building towns in grids.
me - i prefer being able to walk out for a drink, and stumble home. to be able to walk out to the bakery for some danish in the morning without booking it through AAA. Being able to sit on my front porch and watch the world go by. To be able to walk out to a movie a couple blocks away at a classic architecture theatre.
yeh, yeh... i dont get as much land as suburbanites do, but i get benefits that far out weigh the cost savings that i woudl realize out in the boonies.
you get teh wonderful aroma of urine!... now, being a philly kid, i really wish we had a subway system nearly as good as NYC - this would be a much different city.

and it has ever been thus.
have you ever heard of "mitigating circumstances" or "extenuating circumstances". Motives and thoughts have always been a factor.
Hence, the difference between 1st and second degree murder.

look - the only way i'm going to buy any new electronic equiptment, particularly stuff that relies on the inherently insecure TCP protocol is if it implements some of the new TCP security features.

you missed another scary parallel that i alluded to earlier.
The 1918 flu epidemic was spread massively due to the large number of troops involved in WWI. If you pick up that many people, move them into a foreign country, and have them move through many different countries, you are creating one helluva disease vector.
wars are not especially hygenic, and ww1 was particularly horrific.
The parallel is that the US has hundreds of thousands of troops in iraq, and afghanistan. big old vector there.

30k at the age of 22 with full benefits is a damn good job.
christ, at 22, at any halfway decent run company, you'll get a shot at a junior engineer, or in the IT App-Dev world, programmer trainee.
Even if you graduated from the top of your class at a major Tech school, you arent coming in as a senior eng/programmer/analyst.
and those junior jobs pay... 30-40k. with benefits.
tell that to social workers.
really, a 30-35k/year job w/bennies, right out of school is a damn good job - in just about any field, including real engineering.
and 50k+ is also a damn good salary, and should never be sneezed at.

well at least we dont have hundreds of thousand of vectors fighting a war in a foreign land this time... because if that happened, it would be bad.
well, at least they'll be home for christmas.
its also worth noting that measles has had a succesful vaccine for years.
SARS does not. it is extremely contagious, and the proper course of action is a quarantine.
