In these times of cynicism, especially regarding government, it's nice to remember the great things our government has done. I read a nice little column today about one of those things, something that absolutely transformed our country socially and economically, and that's the Eisenhower Interstate System. Can you imagine Atlanta without the downtown connector, 285, and I-20? How would I get to New Orleans to visit friends if not for the interstate system? What Ike signed in to law has become the arteries through which our country's lifeblood flows.
