next time you drink water or drive on a road, remember this comment.

  Wells and driveways.

    "Uncorrupted", not "exclusive".

  Water usage in the US is incredibly irresponsible, not really priced by usage(farmers get enormous subsidies), and largely done by favoritism and grandfathered laws. The UN has aggressively called out US biofuel production as irresponsible and even disastrous. Fracking continues to poison the water tables and ogallala aquifer is sucked dry. Why don't you actually try reading, or educating yourself instead of knee-jerk defending the government with whatever at hand response you've learned as a child and repeated verbatim. Fucking idiot.

  How many people die on government roads every year, and what do you think the reaction would be if a private road system was similarly managed?

    "Geez, I already paid for route 284 and Interstate 99. Do I have to pay a separate weekend surcharge for the 1000-feet onramp? I mean, come on!" OK, not exactly a reaction on people's deaths, but people react to deaths in a more or less similar way whether it's on a government-managed railway or privately operated 747...

      The payment system is a completely separate discussion, and not one at all relevant to my point. I disagree with your claim that the reactions are similar. It's my impression that the reactions to the dangers of public road systems is not remotely close to the reactions toward the dangers of private transportation systems, especially when normalized for the scale of the dangers.
