I got a chance to speak with Senator Mike Gravel at the Direct Democracy conference last week about ending marijuana prohibition, and his frank opinions were refreshing.

The debate between advocates of transit and supporters of highways often revolves around a metric that might appear simple and indisputable at first blush: dollars invested on a per-traveler, per-mile basis.

If one accepts this guiding principle, the case for roads often becomes stronger because public funds are simply used to pour asphalt and build bridges; passengers cover the costs of the actual cars themselves.
