    I’m moving a comment from the free site to here so that it’s more likely interested folks would see it, this came in from reader tigerred:

    Re Oct Idea of the Month/Tollroads/Cinta/State of Texas:
    The TTCorridor has been killed due to HUGE resistance by Texans & Texians! FYI, it was going to create a most enormous land grab to the tune of thousands of square miles, not to mention the land grab for developers to build their cheesy roadside culture. I’m not exaggerating, this issue was the one that was creating the line in the sand—regular peaceful folks here were infuriated to the point of talking war and guns, and they were and still are dead serious that the TTC is where is will take place if they try to build it. I sincerely hope that readers can find other investments that are more “rights friendly” for their fellow Americans. A foreign company was about to carve up Texas and confiscate millions of acres of land for their own profit! Travis, I think you’re probably a really nice guy and have to admit to being a bit surprised that there aren’t some investments that are just too awful to talk about even in your letter. It’s bad enough that lax immigration laws and DC handouts have created a huge drain on the resources of our Texas and other parts of the USA! Confiscating our land for corporate profit (and that includes the corporate commerce State of Texas) is just asking for a really nasty result that will not bode well for anyone.These aren’t my words, I’m just telling you what people in meetings all over Texas were saying. By the way, for the history revisionistas, the Archives contain the documents that ironically state that SPAIN RELINQUISHED ALL CLAIM TO THE LAND OF TEXAS in the Spanish land grant in which anyone could claim their stake in Texas. It states further that “the land will forever belong in the hands of the people.” After the Alamo, Santa Ana tried to take it away for his dictatorship in Mexico and failed miserably at San Jacinto. “Remember the Alamo!” We will. texasrepublic.info

    Please don’t waste our time with these kind of diatribes. I have a Ph.D. with a minor in American Studies, so I really don’t need somebody hectoring and lecturing me on a paid site. This post adds absolutely no value to the issue at hand, which is why I pay to be a subscriber. If I want political analyses, I can always go to Fox or MSNBC, depending on which point of view I want to hear on any given day.

    I don’t think tigerred’s comments are out of place. In fact, the comments were very helpful to me. As an investor with a fairly limited budget, it is important to me to assess viability of any stock in terms of long-term profitability. I prefer to weed out any enterprise / area of activities where there is a higher risk of opposition / court cases, and also any whose activities / modus operandi routinely courts risk of damage action claims. Sadly not everyone reading these reports is equipped with a Ph.D in American Studies – or indeed even a familiarity with US highways, that would provide the requisite context for the toll roads proposal.

    We are each subscribers, Mr. Powell, and we probably each assess our investments on different criteria and with different levels of analytic skills. I visit this forum because I like to find details and viewpoints that may not readily available elsewhere. For all the above reasons, I found tigerred’s comments of interest, and the viewpoint valuable as it signals a different but very relevant perspective, and one to which I would want to give proper consideration before deciding on making a long-term investment into this project.
