nafta superhighway	2010-06-30 23:12 UTC
just doing a little websurfing - one interesting thing about the web is that a lot of stale information stays in place - sort of like a bunch of old newspapers and magazines in your attic - except that often there's not much of an indicator of how stale it is. Other stuff happily stays up despite being clearly dated. I'm glad it does Take this article (which does have a date): Bush Administration Quietly Plans NAFTA Super Highway Amusing to me because I live and work very close to Highway 59 in Houston, which was to be / would be / will be(?) a part of the highway. I'm not aware of the specific facts he's claiming with regard to the development of the "trans Texas corridor", but none of them are inconsistent with what we've heard around here. The whole time I've been living here, we've been waiting for 59 to turn into Interstate 69, knowing it would connect through Laredo. But it doesn't seem any closer to happening now (2010) than it did in 1996 - ten years before the panicky article above. I love the references to the star chamber conceived "North American Union".
