Mark's made a whole lot of sense. I'm not sure I understand why it is that railroads get treated like a public utility when it comes to rates. I also don't understand why it is that semis on the highway don't pay for the real costs of maintaining the Interstate system. And of course, I still haven't figured out why it is that airlines can afford to order new aircraft, but somehow can't make a profit without a US Government subsidy in carrying the mail. <br /> <br />We all want the good things in life that have to be transported some way or another, but we really don't want to pay for them. <br /> <br />Erik
