When people go on about screwed up politics today, I think about prez Eisenhower's super spiffy interstate highway system that everyone enjoys so much... like US 15.... you and the phone poles, nothing and nobody else for hours on end. I have done serious thinking about how the USA would be so different if Ike was in Italy thru the war insted of Mark Clark. Insted of being impressesed with super cool autobahns around Germany... for people who didn't have cars, trucks, or fuel to start them, he would have looked at 2000 year old aquaducts across Italy that took extra water from wet places, and delivered irrigation and drinking water to people living in the same desert environment as the Texas and Kansas he grew up in.
