in any case, the discount for the chicago card thing isn't terrible. i agree it could be more accessible to people with needs, but new york doesn't have anything like it and personally, i'd like if i could get a discount on my fare by using a system that actually allows me to move through stations more quickly. i mean, that's the whole idea of it (and the i-pass), to increase efficiency so they don't have to keep hiking fares for EVERYONE (including people who can't/won't get the chicago card/i-pass). i understand it still sucks on some level. please don't beat it into the ground about how much it sucks. i get it.
i know you hate chicago for multiple reasons. i know that. and it's not even like i'm such huge pro-CTA person. i think i was just saying that i never had huge problems and that my chicago card was nice. really, that's all i was saying, right? i guess i kind of feel like i was lucky enough to live in a city that had mass transit at all. i mean, i don't drive. and so the fact that there were buses and trains at all and that i had options to around the entire city and suburbs without having to own a car, well, that made me pretty happy.
huh. i didnt think that i was being mean or creating an atmosphere you would need to escape from. or that i was making it hard for you to debate--i mean, i agreed with tons of what you said. this might be a case where my caffeine-fueled enthusiasm is taken as aggression, but i don't feel like i was being jerky in any way.
also, i misspoke. i dont hate chicago. i just dont want to live there again....
so yeah, sorry if you thought i was attacking your personally. i just like debating things.
i didn't think you were attacking me personally. i'm just not good at debating. especially online. or really, i guess, in person. i like THE QUIET LIFE.
also, i was cranky due to the fact that we have run out of q-tips (cotton, not rapper) and i've been feeling kind of waterlogged for two days. could i go to the drugstore only steps up the block right now? yes. will i? no. why? because i'm boycotting them? yes. because? they have absolutely no cadbury mini-eggs and yet they have scads of other crappy easter candy.
