Modern transportation causes grave problems for society
It may not look like it, but the ‘modern’ transportation system, especially as it exists in the U.S.A., is broken, horribly. As I see it, the car companies and others are working hard on the appearance that modern transportation systems are okay. That’s just the sugar coating designed to make…
Pres. Obama’s found hypocrisy over Iraq with which to bash Russia over Crimea
