<p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">In looking again at Paul’s quote, regarding the comment following his reference to George Hilton, Paul is not necessarily attributing that comment to Mr. Hilton. So I should not have made that connection either. But my point was to refute the suggestion that the subsidization of transit, assumed necessary today, is at least partially justified because of the precedent that early transit was also subsidized. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family:verdana,geneva;font-size:small;">And that the subsidization of early transit took the form of it being an accessory to a profit making center of business whereas that transit alone could not have survived as an independent business. I would say it is dancing on the head of a pin to say that is equivalent to today’s transit subsidies. It is Christopher Leinberger who appears to be making that point in Paul’s quote, and I think it is disingenuous if that is the point he is making. </span> </p>
