[quote user="John WR"]Frankly, I don't think that relations with government have been the railroads' strongest point in the past.  But this is today, not the past.  With the right effort even critics like Senator Franken might be defused.   John[/quote] Unfortunately, I do not think the motives of Franken are going to be defused.  If anything, he is just the “canary in the coal mine” for a larger, more universal trend in new regulation.   What many people fail to understand is that the motive for government regulation is the regulation itself.  Regulations build empires for the regulators.  Adding new regulations to a prosperous industry is like harvesting a crop.
