America's highways, roads, bridges, are an indispensable part of our lives. They link one end of our nation to the other. We use them each and every day, for every conceivable purpose.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
These roads do not serve transportation alone, they also bind our Fatherland.
If you travel around America you see different sections of highways donated by this or that person, and that's a slow beginning of what may end up being a situation common in the Third World: some sections of highways in wealthy areas are beautifully maintained and other parts are just dirt-strewn potholes.
There is so much we can do to save lives on our roads.
We didn't build the interstate system to connect New York to Los Angeles because the West Coast was a priority. No, we webbed the highways so people can go to multiple places and invent ways of doing things not thought of by the persons building the roads.
Roads are necessary, but the fact that we don't fully recognize that when you build a road you're doing more than building a road - you're building the future development of your city. And, that's what's never dawned on people. It still doesn't, in a way.
Interstate highways dull the reality of place and distance almost as effectively as jetliners do: I loathe their scary monotony.
When all's said and done, all roads lead to the same end. So it's not so much which road you take, as how you take it.
The road system that we've come to depend on, the road system that we built our wealth on and our power on, is falling apart.
Roads do not upgrade or maintain themselves. Bridges do not repair themselves or rebuild themselves.
One always wonders about roads not taken.
