Steve, Pardon me if I seem obtuse but I am curious which part of what I said you agree with. Do you think I should have to pay for an Amtrak system which doesn't go anywhere I am interested in going? I would like there to be a national passenger rail system but I don't think I would like to pay my share of what it would cost. When I say 'national' system, I mean that every city and suburb should have fairly uniform access and service. I think this would cost a staggering amount of money. I also don't think a majority of US citizens would be willing to pay their share either. It seems to me that if the system doesn't serve most citizens, it isn't serving as much of a function supporting the nation. In which case, it isn't providing an adequate alternative to the nations transportation needs and not supplementing the nation in case of a disaster. In this case, I think the people served by the system should bear the costs. I don't understand why it should be any more complicated than that. Let me know what you think and where we agree. Thanks - Ed
