- Stupid question...why won't what Japan has done work here? - Will Hunting May 11, 07:53 5
  - Because Japan already did it. AMERICA FIRST! -- nm - spamlet May 11, 07:58
  - Not stupid, and here's an article from CNN last year on that very topic -- (link) - ML May 11, 07:55
  - No one wants to give the rights of way to do it at ground level. -- nm - Reagen May 11, 07:54 2

- isn't your boss like 85? -- nm - Pippy May 11, 07:39 1
  - well, yes. but he is super smart. - Andie May 11, 07:45
