Kev, <br />How do you know what I do? As for cheap why don't you read what I already posted to Ed. Why do you guys jump the gun and get so defensive? Did it ever cross your mind that I was not saying the railroad should pay for all the upgrades. Maybe you should reread that part and think of it not from the defensive side. I really don't care how much you make. You think because you make more then I do that you are smart and I am stupid? That you stop and I don't? Well I am a nurse and I may not make the money you do but I love life and respect it. I honestly live by the rule hurt not living thing. I volunteer my time the the children in my are. I do care. So to answer one of my questions you are saying that you should stop at cossings even if they have gates? I do but I don't think very many other people realize they should to. I think they trust them because they don't have a degree in electrical enginering and they don't hear how they can malfuntion because according to you and many others the accidents are the drivers faults because they don't "STOP...LOOK...LISTEN...AND LIVE" And when you hear of a crossing accident it is said that they went around the rails leaving the impression that if there are gates there that must be the reason because they would not malfunction. You know this is not a attack at any one it is simply stating that the education need improvement Not just through railroad companies but in drivers education and any where else peoplel will learn traffic laws. I know no one wants to admit some thing was their fault. It would mean being liable and that cost money. It is human nature to cover wrong doing especially when money is involed but this is snowballing and eventually some thing will have to change and I think it would be better for every one involed (not just the railroad) to try to decrease accidents before it is out of hand for both sides. I mean how much do we spend in taxes now that we have no clue what it goes to? government workers to give them selves raises when the working man and women are working their butts off to support their families and still struggle. People with addictions to drugs, we pay for them to affort them instead of paying for their rehab. I think there are ways that money could be utilized for safety. How much do tax payers pay to have the highways worked on for thier safety? Same thing for crossings it is for safety all the same but people have to admit their is a problem to begin with. Many people don't realize it until it is to late and they have lost their mother, father, sibling or child.If people don't realize it is a problem they don't feel any thing needs to be fixed wheather is is education or upgrades to unsafe cossings. It needs to quit being them against us and every one work together to improve what benifits us all.
