There are many trains of thought. Personally, I think if you're looking for a strong argument about a single direction for such a thematically complicated novel, you might look at Mavericks at the Border: The Early Southwest in Histori

Culpability is a happy illusion outside of a social context. Why are we trying to define this in quantum physics terms? It only makes sense in a Kantian universe, where there is an ideal of rationalism. Given how ambiguous human language (l

"free will" is not a quantum computing term.

I'm saying that the transit pressure should apply to the city and the people using transit, not the roads and environment.

I'm not convinced; I believe in the power of car pooling and tax credits.

How are you going to get people to invest in public transit without getting them out of their cars? LA is hands down the worst major metro area I've been to when it comes to transit, and getting people off the roads will only improve t
