I DO mind!If you want to use AMTRAK as a vacation line, all well and good.  We can spend Federal tax dollars for a subsidized cruise line as well.  If we can just break the Air Force away from that pesky military mission they seem to harp on, we will have the skies covered too.  But the function of a transportation system is to move either freight or customers in a timely, efficient, and cost effective manner.  From what I've seen and read, AMTRAK fails the "timely" criteria.  That is not going to please the vast majority of paying customers who need to get from Point A to Point B to do something other than sightsee.  Cost efficiency is a different matter... and the debate continues over whether AMTRAK should be subsidized or not.  But they do themselves no service by failing the basic standard of what is considered good government (and good business).... making the trains run on time.Erik
