Thanks for the link, Chris. I hope my posts haven't given the impression that I think big government knows best. Really, I've only talked about two issues on this blog: alternative transportation (which I'm a fan of, but not to the extent that road maintenance is neglected) and the fact that I think OHSU is a valuable addition to Portland, so I'm not sure how you can have me pegged as an unenlightened, one-track thinker.

Oh well, here's hoping your ability to hold back judgement on people isn't so unsalvageable as you make Mark out to be.
