That things companies profit from are often of benefit to the general public. Companies will profit from better transportation and productivity for their employees. So will society. Doesn't always work out that way, no. But in this case I feel it has. A better rebuttal here would be that in this case the companies are pushing for something that the public will pay for (via a penny tax). Either way, I happen to think it's a good thing for all parties involved, regardless of how it gets paid for. I just want public transit that goes to more than 2 places in my city. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:353423 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
