sAunTerer -
If nothing else, we can agree on your views about MacKaye.

One thing I find interesting is that, in all of RnR's worshipful defense of 
MacKaye, he's failed to point out that MacKaye was the "father" of the 
Interstate highway system as well as the AT.  It may be "named" after 
Eisenhower, but MacKaye laid it out in detail in 1930.  MacKaye WAS a 
visionary - but not a god.

Walk softly,
Jim
