Gawd, I really am sick of people proposing all of these pie in the sky schemes
- they are all very good, but when will people realise that we are in
Australia, we have pro-roads governments and transport bureaucracies, etc. As
mush as I would like to see it, it ain't gonna happen!!!! Start suggesting
realistic, ACHIEVABLE ideas, and we may actually achieve something, instead of
hitting our heads against a brick wall all of the time.
