Bert,

Are you still OK with his attitude?

 

I never was.  Typical know it all.  I love how he says that I "muddle these threads with my contentious arguments," but when I see that I am talking to a wall and try to move on, he keeps arguing.  Sounds to me like someone who just loves to hear himself talk, or in this case read what he writes.

With the shinanigans going on within that corporation, why would there have been a federal bailout?

But quite frankly, I am confused.  I think I will go home now.

Well, he got caught by his own game of "gotcha", can't explain the tangle of his own contradictory statements and so the name-calling starts and there goes yet another thread, courtesy of the usual suspects.

I'm outta here.

Funny it seems that eveythread that gets blown up has either you or FM in it.  Draw your own conclusions. And as to why Carter didn't listen to the DOT report, I have no idea.  Carter's decisions were not the greatest, one of the reasons he did not have a second term.

The New England, ND line was worth saving, it lasted another two years until 1982 when SD bought the Ortonville-Terry line. Perhaps ND should have stepped up then to save it.

Hmm... should I use my power to add the term "Milwaukee Road" to our bad word filter to save the rest of us from future episodes or not. What a dilemma.

Anyone else tired of this brand of bickering? I swear, sometimes it's worse than what I see out of my kids.   You said this. No I didn't, I said this.

Let's move on.
