This idea must've been stolen from Georgia. After missing out on all the federal high speed rail dollars,I can see this type of 'progressive' solution being debated on the GA Senate floor. "Bullet buses will make it from the Capitol down to Macon in less than an hour. And their sleek aerodynamic noses will reduce fuel costs." "...retrofitted and modernized for as little as $40."

Youth
Great video looking at three generations of youth culture. This is from a Brazilian social and behavioral market ing research group Box1824.
Good senior editor Patrick James says:
"What stands out most about the Millennials might not be the dissolution of social groups or boundaries, but that we possess an unrivaled propensity for conspicuous navel-gazing. That said, our generation's willful surrender of privacy will, for better or worse, shape our collective consciousness. Though, as this video points out, by the time we make heads or tails of ourselves, there will be a whole new crop of young things changing the world. "
It is always weird for me since, by the numbers, I fall at the junction of Gen X and the Millennials. Perhaps that means I can embody parts of both. But I am well past what the video calls the top of the influential pyramid. 30 Rock does a great job of demonstrating how the middle agers are consistently out of the loop and trying desperately to fit in with the youth around them.

AJC Heads for the Hills
The AJC, Atlanta's newspaper has moved its operation to the northern suburbs signaling a change in scope and depth as well. They are evening asking writers to avoid the use of words like sprawl that may offend the readership of its new locale. Below is a faux cover created as part of this story in Creative Loafing this week.
