Monty,
I hesitated with the Government 'Owned' comment for just a moment, I was thinking 'publicly owned' etc. The reason i used the terms as i did was because the roads, etc would be technically owned by the gov't and we in turn 'control', 'own', 'insert whatever you want to call it here.'
The other reason I worded it the way I did was because if I said an 'owned by the people' road, then sure as heck someone would say, 'If I own the damn road, I don't need no stinkin' license!'
