[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by dldance Admittedly I took this quote out of context. It is from an article about a rail crossing dispute in Lee County FL - but it is symptomatic of the public relations problem that rail has today. How would forum members suggest changing this common attitude? [/quote] I just had a similar thing said to me by a person I work with the other day. I explained to them how much money they have spent in the L.A., CA Port for ship to rail cargo movement, and how huge that is. They seemed genuinely surprised. The majority of people in the US have absolutely no idea how anything works. They live in ignorant bliss, knowing nothing about how they get electricity, water, gas, food, clothing... All they know is they turn on a light and it works, and if they need something, they go to the store and buy it. I'm not sure how you would change that, unless you tie people down and force them to watch the Discovery channel for two hours a day. :-) Then of course you have kids who actually admire and emulate people like Paris Hilton, who doesn't even know what Walmart or a Funeral Home is...
