Mike: I agree, just because criminals go to jail, it doesn't mean crime stops. Just, we don't have much accountability in government at all, at least there is some, if not enough, in the private sector. However, your proposal is that we hold government accountable, and achieve transparency through civic involvment. In this, I support your proposal. However, I guess you might think me cynical for saying this- but all governments are political, not functional, and are corrupted to a greater or lesser degree. Just as the private sector- except the private sector is not as political. So both entities have graft, but generally a private company will only go where it makes sense, whereas the public entity goes everywhere it can. Goverment is an expansionist philiosophy at heart. So I'm not saying your wrong. I'm just saying I don't feel confident that we'll ever clean up governments enough to get where you want to be. After all, politics are as old as the first time that mankind tried to govern over itself, by putting others on thrones or in senates. Finally, though, yes. Do let's reorganize Amtrak- or more specirfically passenger rail- before there is an emergency. But again, it won't be. Come this fall we'll all be in for a redux of July 4th, but this time at much dire stakes. Alexander
