Whenever I see a parking garage or slabs of cement I think "terrorist!"

LMAO!!! Another great line from SF! Good Job! :lol:

As for the main question, I have to agree with Scott again. I don't trust these things at all. Esp. parking garages and some bridges. A news report while back suggested that some of the major bridges round here are totally unsafe. Obviously this would be last we hear of it. No follow up story, probably cuz no one did any engineering investigations. When the big one hits, we're totally screwed.

Yeah, that pattulo bridge, how many times we drove over that bridge, without a care in the
world, but very aware that is was too narrow, traffic went too fast, and there was lots of
accidents, and it always looks like its ready to fall into the fraser river.

Same with the lions gate.
I think the Pattulo is getting narrower too. It's kind of freaky.

That couldn't happen if civil servants would get off their lazy arses and go out into the field to gather samples and inspect.
Mafia was in charge of government for a while, too. Gagliano was one of the conduits.

That is a pretty "sweeping statement", although there is SOME truth to it. Sometimes freak occurences just happen, due to acts of God. Other times it's not "civil servants" but private contractors hired by the government, trying to undercut the cost of civil servants (who in some cases actually do a better job)

JLM,
You actually approve of what our civil servants do between all the time they have off and holidays?

I wasn't talking about elected ones, I was talking about the rank and file workers. No I don't approve of EVERYTHING civil servants do, BUT to be fair some are dedicated, hard workers, while others are drones and parasites.
