That's funny. The idea riding on trains taught made you an expert on the freight rail business is silly.

I see. You don't think riding the rails tells you anything about the condition of those rails. So when you worked for an oil company, you believed you could get your job accomplished by simply sitting in your office. BTW how did that approach work out for you?

I am sick to death of you would be capitalists that all you care about is stopping progress. You all are holding back this country as other countries leap ahead of us.

Other countries aren't leaping ahead of us because of high speed passenger rail.

Hardly. You need to do more reading on the subject.....at least as much as I have.

Damage is done by ignorant people making decisions and spending public money on stupid superficial bases. If high speed passenger rail made a lot of sense in America, private industry would be raring to build it.

Dude, improving rail systems may be new to you but its hardly a new venture for the rest of the world. The Japanese, the Euros and now the Chinese have forgotten more on the subject than Americans know. And why is that.......because of conservatives like you.

And trust me, private enterprise was not the lead entity in most of those countries.
