gooder:

Paris actual road plan from the 1850's/1870's was meant for two things: improve horse-carriages traffic (which had become a real problem at the time) and crowd/riot control. actually still works relatively well for something laid out 150 years ago :)

Revenues. Cops love guns and new cars WAY more than they do things like justice, doing your job, or not being an organized criminal gang preying on the unsuspecting public

Or maybe its the criminal enterprise posing as a government in the state that is the problem.

“When buying and selling are controlled by legislation, the first things to be bought and sold are legislators.”

Nobody at Gawker cares about government cronyism/pay to play unless the benefactors happen to be someone they don’t like. An oil company, for instance.

I’ll bet not. Where are the big revelations about the pedophile island Bill Clinton and other rich people and world leaders visited? Kinda got swept under the rug. The media has a vested interest in the status quo, and very few outlets are going to want to upset the apple cart.

pfft... think you got it bad? Try being a Libertarian!

Worst forum shit storm ever seen? Easy. Go to any thread on Gawker or Jezebel, make a comment where you might appear to not be a left wing liberal nut job. You could tell them the sky is blue. However, if they even THINK you are a Republican (even if thats not the case), not only is the sky NOT blue, but you are an…

Exactly. After being born and raised in Chicago my wife and I finally took the architectural river tour and finally figured out where this thing was. It’s so out of the way for any normal commuting Chicagoan.

Perfect place to dispose of ballots cast for Sanders.

Future monument to the Cruz administration?

We are going to need better pictures then that. Given how clear the headlight is, it is most likely from 2010+ or a replacement headlight.

Maybe you should learn some French history. Start with Sykes-Picot.
