Quote by Charles Kuralt

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible to travel across the country from coast to coast without seeing anything.

Thanks to the Interstate Highway System, it is now possible

Summary

This quote suggests that the construction of the Interstate Highway System has made it easy to travel long distances in the United States without experiencing the unique landscapes, cities, and attractions along the way. It implies that the highways bypass smaller towns and scenic routes, instead creating a more efficient but potentially monotonous travel experience. It highlights the downside of prioritizing speed and convenience over the opportunity to appreciate the diverse and interesting features of the country during a road trip.

I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions; fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, heal'd by the same means, warm'd and cool'd by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, do we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we will resemble you in that.
