Is or is not Perth the Capital of Western Australia? Is not Adelaide the Capital of South Australia? I have to say that I am somewhat of an exception since I am a teacher of History and Geography. You are correct, many Americans are very ignorance 'bout the world around us...beyond us. But remember, in many ways the United States is like 50 distinct countries. Under our nation's first constitution, The Articles of Confederation and Prepetual Union, the original 13 colonies were 13 seperate nations united in a common goal. That is why we have "states" instead of "providences." In our current usage we treat the phrase "United States of America" as singular, whereas it was originally plural. We of the USA have common debates and schisms over the issue between the "Federal Government" and our "Local Governments." This carries on even into American railroading and so-called "Interstate Commerce." Thus, one could look at Americans as members of a mini- "United Nations." I feel Europe is going down the same path. The Euro, for example, is based on the same issues the USA went through when it had to combine its "state money" into a national currency. Any Europeans here who can explain British and Continential railroad policy to me? I would be of much thanks. Ian, how do railroads operate down under? Let me in on the "Annual Mallet" thing. [:D]
