On my way to KC... a little help?

[zscoundrel]

I hope that I don't get into trouble for telling thins, but Johnson 
County is developing a bus service.  It has been one of the best kept 
secrets in a long time.  (In fact, this information is probably 
classified and now some government stooge is going to come and cart me 
off to jail.)

They have opened 2 new routes out here in Western Shawnee - as far as I 
can tell.  There are two suspicious looking JoCo transit vehicles 
lurking around the new Dillons parking lot on Shawnee Mission Parkway in 
the mornings and afternoons.

NOTHING has been announced anywhere, as far as I can tell, so maybe they 
are just some CIA cover for illegal domestic operations.  Perhaps they 
are just transporting the pilots for the CIS'a black helicopter 
programs.  (I you don't here from me ever again after this - STAY AWAY 
FROM DILLONS!!!!!!)

On the other hand, this is could be just another incompetently 
implemented mass transit program, brought to us by the same people that 
have "managed" the area mass transit programs for years.

It makes me wonder - Does it cost MORE to operate a bus FULL of fair 
paying passengers???  Because it seams to me that if the route structure 
was PUBLICIZED, more people might be ABLE to ride the bus, thereby 
making the venture PROFITABLE and SUCCESSFUL!!!  Oh wait.  I keep 
forgetting the government does not operate like private enterprise.  My 
mistake!

I am always amazed that many open source companies seem to be able to 
operate a business on the open source software model, when the 
government can't seem to get it's act together using an EXTORTION 
(taxation) system.

Just my 1.279856 cents worth - after taxes.
