Have you made an effort to contact the local authorities as to why these reflectors were installed? Any accidents on that roadway? Any complaints? Or do you really believe this was a way for Penndot or your local authorities to blow you hard earned income? Personally I've never been distracted by reflectors of any kind. People driving with illegal lighting, out of adjustment headlights, or driving with their high beams on are far more distracting to me then reflectors. Oh, if you do make that call you do bring up a good point sounds like they need some on the other side of the road too.
Funny how you use this as a way to "show" the abuse of tax money. One only needs to only look at the defense budget to really see some serious abuses.
Maybe you mist the part that I left the republican party because they no longer represent the moderate point of view? So I guess that makes me a liberal right?
Quote:Nothing against reflectors at all. Matter of fact, I really prefer the post-system (Katzen Augen) used all over Europe. My problem that you may have missed is the fact that these are spaced so closely as to be obviously superfluous. The speed limit is 55 mph on this stretch of road, with the markers that close it is glaring to the point of being distracting while other sections of road without guardrail have no guidance at all. Lastly, the road isn't that curvy to begin with.
If one absolutely needs to blow money, could these not have been spaced out and used elsewhere? How about putting the stimulus money toward repaving roads which in many areas are a greater safety risk? Better yet, how about not borrowing from the Chinese or taking our hard earned money for excessive projects? I posted this as a glaring example (sorry for the pun!) of what's being wasted throughout the country. I'm appalled at the lack of common sense and restraint in such difficult times.
Glad to hear you've abandoned the party of supposed right wing extremists to join those on the left. The problem for the rest of us is that no one is truly representing the middle. By no means is the Tea Party the solution, but it would be prudent to take note of the movement and the fact that "registered" members likely vastly underestimates the number of Americans in favor of this philosophy and the concept of a third party.
