 . Never mind here it is: "Could North American society have successfully evolved into heavy use of passenger rail, instead of a society dependant on the automobile." This suggests that the current path, the 'automobile era' is also a result of evolution over time, and is also successfull. I still do not think "evolved" is a legitimate concept to be used in making this comparison. Your beef seems to be that we "evolved" beyond passenger rail to the auto and airplane so you seem to object to the facr that we didn't suffer from arrested development after achieving the mode of your preferance...(steel wheels on steel rails) Sounds like embittered neanderthals lamenting about "why'd those mean ol Cro Magnon dudes have to come along and spoil our gig?" etc. Rail failed to evolve because it's physical plant is too rigid to cope with changing demands
