    Monorail Should Be Hacked

    Unfortunately, someone managed to hack the monorail poll. Before it was hacked, there was not a single respondent who believe that monorail would deliver what was originally promised and voted for. About 25% believed something would be built, but it would be less than promised. And, 75% of you believe that the monorail will never be built.

    I suppose it is no mystery where I come down on this. The monorail is a bad idea and it is only getting worse as the management of SMP goes further in over their level of competence.

    If only the monorail could be hacked out of existence like the poll about it was. But, it is fitting that a supporter of the monorail would also be a hacker.

    I was taking a walk through the Northgate Mall on Saturday when I ran into none other than a band of merry monorail supporters. I let them know that if they dropped the price $200M I might start to consider supporting it. The smart ass man that was running one of the tables made a smart ass comment along the lines that even though they recently came out with figures $200M over a previous figure they were still $200M under what voters approved (YES! Let's spend every dime we possibly can!). The smart ass lady standing next to him stated that they were still in negotiations as well. I replied, "great, so Bombardier's offer is back on the table." Her reply, "No, they could pay the initial cost." Hmm, I didn't realize companies had to pay SMP for the freakin privilidge to build. Oh wait, yea I did. Apparently not only hot knives are slicing through butter in the halls of the proletariat but palms are being greased with the stuff as well!
