Thanks for the compliment Ed. Cabforward how do you know what the taxpayer will or will not stand for? For years we, the taxpayers, have had our hard earned money to the tune of 4 billion dollars a year sent to Israel and a like amount to Egypt and God knows how much more to God knows where, I don't hear any outcry over that. If any of the monuments in D.C. started falling into disrepair there would be a tremendous hue and cry to get them fixed. To my mind, passenger rail service is just as great a monument to the building of this country as any other. O.K. so maybe passenger rail would only be a break even concept at best but how else can you give the travelling public and alternative to planes and cars. After this blackout in the Northeast, you watch the airlines go screaming back to congress because they have lost money. To travel by car on the highways any great distance nowadays produces stress that negates the convenience. I"ll keep on with my writing Washington and I hope some of you will do the same. <br />Stay safe. <br />Pop
