How about reducing the toll to increase revenues? If the toll is $4 and 10,000 vehicles use the bridge, the total is $40,000. However if the toll is $2 and 30,000 vehicles use the bridge, the total is $60,000. Reduce the toll and I bet the vehicle count will incease.

After all, it's "equal rights for all", and "no ones business" right?

And from my research, there is absolutely no question that the founding fathers would be considered extremely conservative by today's standards.

Makes you wonder though what John Richard Cothern's childhood was like. That apple may not have fallen far from the tree.

Where is the crime? I didn't read anywhere in the article where it states he was making a consumer firework. I didn't read anywhere in the article where it states he was using rocket motors with more than 4 oz. I didn't read anywhere in the article where it states he was making a bomb. He damaged his own shed, not anyone elses property. If he gets charged with any crime, I will be back with a full apology.

Was he doing something illegal? Obviously there was an accident, and things ended badly. To me building a firework is not a mistake. Not taking all of the necessary precautions when using the items the report claims he was using can lead to a mistake. 4F Black Power can be set off with just static electricity.

Go ahead and cast that first stone if you have never done anything stupid before, and have never made a mistake in your entire life. Bellingham man, I hope you recover soon, and learn from this incident.

"Most dermatologists recommend a broad spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher every two hours while outside." What is the difference between "waterproof" and "water-resistant"?
