Ed, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p> You certainly do understand my point about not wanting to be forced to live sustainably in livable communities.  Incidentally, another very broad term I have heard for that type of development philosophy is, “New Urbanism.”    <o:p></o:p> Now, with the airbag idea, I did not intend to convey the impression that I thought it was a good idea, but it may have sounded that way.  I only intended to credit Mr. Raney’s approach to getting these types of ideas instituted and funded through public policy, and to sound a warning of this type of creeping regulation.  When you consider what a well-agitated public sector can do, I was cautioning against dismissing the idea of something as outlandish as locomotive airbags.     I agree with you that the physics of the concept don’t work.  If Mr. Raney would show us an idea that is convincing, I would certainly like to see it, and give it a fair appraisal.  Otherwise, I see the airbag idea as just another facet of New Urbanism.  It seems to make it an entitlement to wander into the path of trains.
