<p>[quote user="schlimm"]</p> <p>These highly ideological/political discussions are supposed to be off-limits on this forum. [/quote]</p> <p>You introduced the term "libertarian" into the discussion.</p> <p>Discussing the role for government in funding passenger rail, i.e. having a government agency run the trains as opposed to a public/private partnership or private exclusively is not political. Take that off the table, and in the extreme we would not be allowed to discuss Amtrak or commuter rail or any other facit of transport in the United States. Each mode is influenced impacted by government. </p> <p>I favor alternatives to Amtrak. So do a number of others posting to these forums. Others believe that Amtrak should be strengthened in its current format. There are pluses and minuses to both sides of the argument. To call that political is a stretch.</p>
