The big objection isn't in evolution - some evolution was obvious long
before Darwin.

The objection is in natural selection, as long as "natural" means "not
done by God or by Man". And of course, the idea that humans evolved
from something else.

Dude I am married to a real scientist, someone who does real science 5
days a week. She is degreed in geology and chemistry and is an expert in
the battery field, with 25 years of experience.

I understand Science and the scientific method just fine. However, I
don't pray at the alter of Science like some of you.

Remember you said "roads".

The roads are mostly built by the developers and individuals. The
county, city or state comes along after the road is completed and takes
over maintenance.

In my county the developers cannot start building houses until they have
either built the roads or acquired bonds to complete the roads. And, no
construction can be started on housing developments until schools and
other infrastructure is built. This is all funded by those new
homeowners by the levying of special taxes in special taxing districts.

Do you know what front footage benefit charge is and why you pay it? The
rates you pay for electricty get the power lines to your house, the
electric company does not run the lines for free.

So, to answer you question the people pay to have the roads built.

Breitbart didn't do tanything that other media/press outlets havent done
in the past without reprecussions.
