Oh, yeah, regarding the "moral obligation" statement I made - On reflection I admit it is in error for me to say that the railroad companies have a moral obligation to provide payback to the public in exchange for the land grants into perpetuity. Corporations are amoral, thus not inclined to moralisms one way or the other. For that statement I deserve the criticism. <br /> <br />What I should have said (and will probably still get criticism) is that the government has a moral obligation to the public to make sure railroads give payback to the public in exchange for the land grants, and should do so into perpetuity, e.g. there is no time limit for return consideration. The land is gone from the public coffers forever, why shouldn't the return favor also last forever?
