Hemphill</i> <br /><br /> <br />Here's excerpts from a response I received this morning from one of the people that I carbon copied with my e-mail, a person present at Amtrak's birth: <br /> <br />(snip) <br /> <br />So what does this have to do with the insurance issue. Well, it goes back to the low access charges; Amtrak pays virtually nothing to use the system; UPS pays as much to get a carload between Chicago and New York as Amtrak pays for an entire train. So if there were real market pricing out there, Amtrak payments would go up something like 50-100 times. I think the railroads would have a different attitude about assuming liability if Amtrak was paying normal commercial rates." <br /> <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I wholeheartedly agree... <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Hey lc, <br /> <br />I'm glad to see you're finally growing a brain cell or two. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Nice try. Your thinking hasn't improved any either... <br /> <br />LC <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Since you couldn't rationalize your argument, you resort to contemptable insults. Typical of your type. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />Gentlemen please.[:(] Don't want to be peace officer here but you should save the stabbing for Halloween.[}:)][:D] <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />I apologize to the forum, but my gut reaction to an unsolicited insult is to hit back. I'm just trying to have conversations here, but some who cannot rationalize their arguments ALWAYS resort to cheap shots. I promise from now on I will completely ignore LC's cheap shots.
