I wasn't really talking about subways but rather trying to use a metaphor. :) Mad Max style Anarchy on one hand, the total and brutal police state on the other and a cosy middle ground somewhere between. My point being that we are now leaving the cosy middle ground and travelling towards the police state. We are not there yet, but that's were we are heading. Can we please make an U-turn at the convenient intersection?
