Unless you want to charge all cars for miles driven, you must charge hybrid and electric cars an extra fee. A hybrid uses the road the same as a gas vehicle, but doesn't pay the same amount in gas taxes, the primary method of funding for road infrastructure/repair.

May 31 TJ commented on In Austerity-Crazed Europe, Unemployment Reaches Record High.

In much of Europe, the biggest measure of an ailing economy is not unemployment per se, but hyper-inflation. The lesson learned from post-WWI Germany was that hyper-inflation must be prevented at all costs.

Apr 17 TJ commented on McGinn Wins!.

Yea, and who won the last two GOP presidential Iowa straw polls?

Apr 13 TJ commented on Yes, Liberals, We Should Sue That Anti-Gay Florist.

Dom - I agree with your post in general, BUT:

1 - it took 30 years (3 decades) to pass Cal Anderson's non-discrimination bill. Saying it took over a decade, while not incorrect t minimizes the extent of the effort
2 - Roe v Wade had nothing to do with contraception. Contraception is the act of preventing pregnancy. Roe v Wade was about a woman's right to terminate a pregnancy. The right of woman to access contraception was Griswold v Connecticut in 1965.

Apr 5 TJ commented on A Modest Proposal for Mayor McGinn: "I Know You Like Bikes".

I don't believe (though I might be wrong), that "Local Access Only" is actually legally enforcable. So you could end up with cars on that road driving more than the requested 1/2 block anyway.

Mar 21 TJ commented on New Council Spokesman Has Baggage with Liberal Council Members.

Dom - the Council would not have hired him if the Councilmembers didn't agree with offering him the position. Plus, Dan represented the will of the majority of the Council when working on the tunnel campaign. It was O'Brien that was opposed to to Council, not Nolte to any individual members. Let's get real here.

Feb 20 TJ commented on Guess Who Just Called the City Council "Terrorists"?.

But where does he stand on the Alaska Way tunnel?

Feb 18 TJ commented on Sam Bellomio Did Not Like What I Wrote About Him.

Sam's partner in crime, Avrum (aka Alex), has filed so many frivilous suits in small claims court against various politicians, that the court took the extraordinary measure of requiring him to get the approval of a judge before filing more small claims suits against politicians. His reaction: he filed a suit against the judge.

Feb 18 TJ commented on Marginal Activist Running for City Council.

@2 - in the clip (and every Monday), he's addressing the King County Council, which is elected by district, not at-large.

Feb 6 TJ commented on I, Anonymous.

@8 - many modern Nazis, or neo-nazis, while claiming there will be a race war, etc, are careful to not directly advocate genocide. They argue more like the KKK - a seperation of them from us because we are better, holier, more civilized, etc than they are.
I believe the writer meant he had friends who were neo-nazis, not actual German nazis of the 1940's.
