So, you are saying that "just because everybody else is doing it" that Rochester must greet the rail project with open arms? I think you see the pitfall in that logic. <br /> <br />B. Nice try, but it didn't work. My emotions on this entire deal are neutral enough that I won't wear my emotions on my sleeve, either way. Afterall, it won't be in my back yard, regardless. <br /> <br />The point I was trying to make is that in the 19th century, many towns and hamlets did bend over backwards trying to please the railroads, hoping to woo a new line through their towns. <br /> <br /> <br />Those days are over, yet we have mr DME still wondering why the city of Rochester isn't head over heels excited to have him get rich at the expense of their peace and quiet. <br /> <br /> <br />He talks about "thousands of jobs" in Dakota, but realistically <i>what is he proposing</i> to the City of Rochester of benefit? <br /> <br />Dirty smelly diesels with air horns blaring around the clock? OH boy!! I'[ll bet they are lining up around the block. <br /> <br />OH well, time will tell. But if mr DME wants to entice the people of Rochester, he'd better think of what they might see as attractive but quick, and somehow I don't think that "thousands of jobs in South Dakota" is gonna be the persuasive argument that will move them.
