 I remember once seeing an TV interview of a 'ordinary american' on some show,
'Do you support Mass Transit, and the tax to fund it'. Answer Yes.
'Would you use it ?' No
'Why do you support it then ?' Other people will use it and make the road less
congested for my trip.


 They all hope some one else will leave the car at home and make more spare for
their own car.
