Except there is a flaw in that arguement.....if you live in
Springfield you may not use the Cental Artery but when you
go to the local store those Kumquats you bought.....they
probably came by a truck that traveled the central artery
on it's delivery route.

In that entire store, the dust on the floor is the only thing that
didn't get there by a truck that traveled on the central artery.

You do realize that when those Kumquats arrive at the store in
Springfield, it travels various roads including the central
artery enroute to seven dozen stores?


So maybe if you don't want to pay for the central artery maybe
we should block all the food from being delivered to your
Springfield store via the roads in eastern Massachusetts?
