Oh really? VA ABC stores don't turn profits? What about the DMV? Lottery?

I just realized it's more likely the magnet trays hanging from the guideway that deflect, and probably not the guideway beams as stated by someone previously. Therefore, an easy fix with a truckload of money and total redesign. :help:

Dear god what have I done? I derailed a thread with a train reference...

it was a fantastic umbrella for going to class on rainy days!

Single entities may make a profit, but the entire government does not!
Let's say that VA takes taxes from everyone and gathers VA lottery income and ABC store income and at the end of the year have a 2 million dollar profit. Do they cut everyone a refund check.... or spend it?
Virginia is doing better now than most.

Ruin the aesthetics of it!?!? :dirtyvegas:
