Which is fine, I won't be ~shamed~ into accepting the nonsense that I've seen the proponents trying to force down the throat of the gullible and the forlorn I could go on and on with a rant about my misgivings on the discussion I've seen to date. But it would only aggravate the sheep . Foremost among my reservations would be the way the private parties willing to enter into the proposed "partnership" are not willing to quantify their own level of (monetary) contribution to the plan, Nor are they even willing to identify who they really are, they just time and again troll some big juicy worm through the pond, trying to see how many fools (mooneyed taxpayers) might be ready to "bite". When the topic passes through the local media, the response tends to inspire the impressionable into making starry eyed "water cooler" talk along the lines of "hey did you hear? we might be getting HSR!" with all the analytical prowess if a drunken sailor on shore leave.... No thought. as to where it will be going, whether it will be able to support itself, or what actual public good it will serve, they just get giddy with the joy of "getting something" like kids waiting for Santa to come sliding down the chimney.
