UPDATE? I was heading northbound on I-5 the other day, and although I get lost in the "maze" sometimes and never paid much attention, I believe I was looking directly INTO the "newly re-opened" tunnel section of southbound I-5 Truck route. It was freshly painted, and had big bright lights installed!

Too bad no one thought of that BEFORE 3 people had to die!

I can't help but think that installing lights is a de facto admittal of responsibility by the STATE for the accident! If I were a personal injury lawyer in CA, I would certainly use it as evidence in a wrongful death suit against the state and it's Highway Department.

Why are Americans SO DUMB.... that we have to learn a lesson only AFTER someone dies?? Dark tunnels, lead painted toys, drugs with deadly side affects? Why are we always closing the barn door only AFTER the horses are out?

I think it is because we have tailored our education system to train Managers and Administrators, instead of Innovators and Leaders!!

I want to see this country turn over a new leaf! And I don't care WHAT it costs in lives or dollars! We have become a STAGNANT pool of Litigation and Regulation, and have forgotten our roots of Revolution and Evolution!

The American Dream has become a "Bedtime Fable" told in Black and White "movie classics." Replaced by futuristic fantasies that are digitally enhanced and computer simulated!

Somewhere along the way, we became BORED by reality and enticed by fantasy! Yet we cannot escape the wisdom of our elders.... we ARE reaping what we have sown! The bill HAS come "due!"

Who among us will stand the test, and lead the way out of this abyss?

And IF one dared..... which of us would stand WITH him/her?

Someone once said.... and probably the last one to do so.... "I know not which course others will take, but for me and my family.... we will stand and fight!"

But, perhaps.... that was but a line in a classic movie!

So.... we have "fixed" the tunnel, but the road ahead lies still in darkness.

Thank you for the update on this golfhobo! I believe that there is NO Accountability when it comes to our officials. The American people are paying taxes upon taxes and yet something like this is not being taken care of, instead we have street cameras everywhere and now they desire to sell off the infrastructure to private enterprise so we can pay tolls :roll:
And even though they sell infrastructure to private enterprises we will never see our taxes go down that are paid for DOT and other entities. Seems like taxes should go down and the size of these agencies should shrink if they are going to sell it off.

I agree that the people that are being paid to oversee this should be held accountable at all levels. Nothing will happen until the next tragedy occurs.

The American people are to busy following the wolf and as long as the wolf does not sink it's teeth into them they are alright with it.
