Ryan, stop wasting everybody's time with your loony monorail scheme. Taxpayer dollars surely aren't meant to fund transportation infrastructure. Why couldn't it just be funded by banks, like all of our roads? And really, the fact that you aren't personally assuming a few hundred dollars in liability proves you're not really serious, anyway.

End sarcasm.

Seriously, as someone who has been a part of several anti-road protests where people did put their homes on the line (or rather, the government threatened to take them and people didn't back down), talk of personal liability in these matters scares me a lot. At what point are some of the people dumping billions in automobile-related costs on the public going to take responsibility for their overwhelming share of these expenses, as well as the death and destruction which result?
