Which 95/93 interchange are you talking about? There are two, one at the Blue Hills and the other in Woburn.

In today's political climate, I think people would sooner give a kidney than pay an extra dime in taxes.

Should we really dump our money into that, rather than into public transportation? The commuter rail system could surely use a facelift.

Initially I found it very hard to believe that toll collectors make 50k, but what do you know, Some research reveals even more shocking figures: http://www.metrobostonnews.com/us/article/2008/09/19/00/4649-72/index.xml Way, way more than my kids' teachers, how sad is that?

palindrome, what do you think are the most obvious examples of government waste in Massachusetts?

1) no 2) yes 3) yes I hope Mass. does for marijuana what it has done for gay marriage.

I think the problem with your suggestion is that it would in effect legalize all graffiti and we would see a huge increase in instances of kids spraying their initials or gang name or whatever -- all that random tagging I suppose neither of us would like to see. Right now there is at least a...

I don't think anyone's arguing that graffiti cannot be art. Nothing makes a paintbrush on canvas superior to spraypaint on a wall. The disagreement is about the legitimacy of unsolicited graffiti, that's all.
