Mike: <br /> The government should do nothing to make a level playing field. Or a cherry pie for that matter. Most of the important stuff is up to us. It's what I've known. Wouldn't have it any other way now. I don't need the money Congress has snagged to accomplish something good here, much less want it. In no way would I lead them to believe that they are necessary in my life. <br /> As to freight roads and stimulation, with a face like mine, you soon tire of frightening folks. I've been bored with it since about 1957. Similarly, (though thanks) I don't want to run anything. Too reciprocal. It's just that in keeping a promise to my girl, I'm going to make some desirable stopoffs and coincidentally, ridership... fellow patrons. Nothing more fiery than that. And if the craft moving between concerned depots seem to look, smell, sound and perform better than before and don't fund foreign and hazardous principals that's just a side effect. <br /> So far from fretting over funding for maintenance and operations I'm concerned about corporate copying, the adoption of reclamation by conglomerates, overmarketizing and generally diminishing the aesthetic and the savor of things. <br /> At bottom, of course, one would prefer to see people hitting the Malls and Outlets (if that's all they've got to go to) by rail rather than stoplight stewage, but what a saggy waste of potential. <br /> Haven't you ever wanted to ride the rails someplace besides a city siding? <br /> John Bradley
