My husband works for our local human cattle car authority here.
We don’t use it.
We are not “behind” in the development of high-speed rail; to be “behind” infers that you are in the race, but if you don’t care to be in the race, you can’t be “behind”.
I don’t enjoy public transportation for multiple reasons.
I want to be on my schedule.
I also don’t want to sit next or near anyone else for hours. I like my private space/time in my car where I can do want I want without having to worry about disturbing others.

We need to be less like Europe and more like America.
That’s the point of being America.
The world already has one Europe and many other socialistic nanny states. But there is only one America.
People in America who admire European style government, their rail systems and their socialist governments are wasting their time living here in a land they don’t really like all that much. They should move to a place that already has all of the things they yearn for. They have many, many choices.
Those of us who love the constitution, the American way of life, free enterprise, American ideals and traditions have no where else to go.
In spite of such opposition, I think think high-speed bullet trains are a splendid idea! So there.
How does it feel being Obama’s butt-boy, Willie?
Oh Gooody!
Let’s model our economy on that of Spain!
But first we’ll have to double our unemployment, double our taxes, and make the dollar absolutely worthless!
It’s a great idea- be whisked by high-speed rail to the armpits of major American urban centers, then try to get a ride the hell out of the area.
Ever been to the Baltimore Travel Plaza off I95?
Planes are faster. What’s the big deal?
