missouri 2:3

Now to get to the state, I said to the two of them at lunch since I was paying, I figure and tell me if you agree, one would drive the roads. A road, it seems to me, would be the interface between the natural and the governmental. People wanting to get from here to there make roads once here and there become defined. By towns, said Jill. Right. But now roads are a governmental function, even their placement is now bureaucratic rather than democratic, although their function in origin and practice is democratic. People drive on the roads or don't with more freedom than they watch television or eat lunch or even think. We never get to watch television, said Jill, except at stupid motels and all they get is news. So by travelling on roads, while our course is concretely prescribed, our destinations are willful, since most places with road have more than one unless its the end of the road. There is no end of the road, said Jill, no deadends. She said this as if it were a great disappointment. No, I said, because one always has the option to stay or go back. An end is only dead if you die there.
