Oh yeah, one other thing.
I'm pretty sure you're the only one who thinks you've ever 'won' every discussion you and I (or you and anyone else) have ever had. If it makes you feel good about yourself to think so, that's ok though. Surprisingly, I really don't lose any sleep over people like you who to me, are the bad apples that put a tarnished reflection on all their countrymen and women. I don't suppose you care about that though...considering you're an individual and don't care about your countrymen beyond the constitution and how it affects you as an individual.

I was a winner before, during, and after I ran for office. I accomplished all of my goals of running a successful information campaign.
I never planned on winning the office. That would be impossible given the circumstances and the district demographics. Before 1913, Americans didn't pay income taxes, but guess what? We had paved roads. We had a legislature. We had a military, etc. Claiming toll roads isn't a feasible solution only shows that you know little to nothing about the subject and haven't dedicated any actual thought to the subject...much like every other subject, especially with regard to Israel and the middle-east. I love how you think it's wrong for the people who use a service to pay for it, and for those who don't use it to be exempt from paying for it. It shows how irrational you truly are.

Post exclusive roads? Or enough roads to get the mail thru (which pretty much covers everywhere most people want to go)?

That's a question that was answered by the Courts in the late 1800s, but I'm sure Radar will have the correct answer for us through divination of the meaning as originally written. We wait.

All court interpretations are meaningless. Just read the plain sense of the document, stupid sheeple!

Everyone should live in the way they did when the Constitution was written. Then it can be accepted for the truth that it is. Roads? Who needs roads? Your slaves can cut across country.

Pssst. Slavery was/is unconstitutional.

Those who wrote it owned slaves.

As far as the original intent of the founders, they intended for people to get their mail. A postal road back then was a road to connect post offices so mail could be delivered between them. Since then, the postal service has changed a bit, and delivers to a lot more places. It's up to the fed to make sure there's a road everywhere that mail is delivered.
