[quote user="TheAntiGates"][quote user="futuremodal"] I also don't see any medical trade mags giving the benefit of doubt to the outsider same as Kalmbach. [/quote] You're REALLY serious with that?  I am amazed.[/quote] The point is, the med trade mags will stick up for their own despite the incredulousness of the Mayo moanings, but for some backhanded reason Kalmbach won't stick up for DM&E. [quote] Hey, Ive heard about this latest so called "poll" supposedly indicating that "a majority of minnesotans" prefer the route through Rochester. Duh!!  Is it any surprise that folks from Duluth to Fergus Falls see no problem with a route thru Rochester? I'd imagine that a majority of folks from Minneapolis/ St Paul see no problem with a route thru Rochester either? Wouldn't you? ANYWHERE so long as it's not in their own back yard. How do a majority of Rochester (and immediate surroundings) residents feel about it?[/quote] How a majority of Rochies do feel vs how they should feel is the diametric twist.  If not for the preposterous scare tactics of the Mayo malcontents, most Rochies probably would give benign approval of the DM&E project.  It predictably takes some low brow bottom of the barrel scare tactics devoid of logic and reason to get usually normal folks stirred into a frenzy. Mayo has shot whatever credibility it might have had to he-doubletoothpicks.  Hopefully, after all this is over, DM&E and the associated shippers of that line will turn the tide on Mayo and put pressure on them to stick it where the sun don't shine. [quote] Maybe if Fergus Falls is so wild about DM&E, then schiffer ought to consider routing that way? (heh heh, that'd be poetic justice for those "majority of minnesotans") [xx(] [/quote] I'm sure the folks in Fergus Falls or anywhere else in Minnesota would welcome the DM&E in with open arms, just as long as Mayo/Roachester foot the bill for the reroute. Question for AG and all other Mayo fanatics:  If it had been UP or BNSF who was proposing this project, do you really think for a moment that Mayo would be putting up such a hissy-fit as it is with DM&E?
