Read em and weep comrades. America's highways are now owned by the capitalists...

The U.S.'s infrastructure is some 30 years behind most of the industrialized world's privatization will only make it worse, fortunately however, I doubt Bush will succeed privatizing the roads.

If it succeeds, it'll be just like pre-industrial turnpikes!

No, people should have the right to free highways just like they should have free healthcare and free protection.
Freedom of movement is a human right.

this might actually be a good thing because more people will then say no to using the car which will mean a greener America, so from a environmentalist point of view this might not be so bad

With mules, horses, carts, stagecoaches and trains. I bet you they don't want to go back to these.

Because freedom of movement is not only a human right but a base necessity and things you need to survive should never be left to private companies. Just look at healthcare and food and housing.
