Who gives a fuck?? Govt's are elected to build fucking roads and other infrastructure and maintain these - collect and spend taxes wisely - na nausea.
Their personal opinions and beliefs have nothing to do with road building or taxes. Elect a govt that has a clue and knows the meaning of "serve"  |
I think more countries than just the US are at least partly occupied with such issues (in reality these are still very lowkey issues in the US compared to war, healthcare, etc). Government plays a fundamental role not only in infrastructure but in upholding the law of the land to protect citizens, and that involves peoples' behaviors, lifestyles, and ultimately values - sometimes religion.
