    So does that mean, or does that not mean, you agree with the 11 points in the article?

    That accident was probably caused by operatives of the auto lobby that want the americans to remain big consumers of automobiles -- and never use mass transit.

    But in spite of this accident, I bet train travel is still safer than auto travel.

    Who cares if tax payers fund it. How much do we spend on the military? That is a much bigger fucking waste.

    If I like my train can I keep it?

    It's more like the full blown AIDS. You're keeping it and paying for it whether you like it or not.

    Other cuntries have high speed trains. As far as I know, their safety records are fine. It's evil government though, so right wing drones will hate it no matter what and cry evil government.

    I'd bet riding the train in Spain is still safer than driving in Spain.

    Standard redistribution of income. If theze guys werent working for amtrac theyd either be on unemployment or theyd be working for lazy government sucking bridge builders or highway contructors and maintainers.

      Rather Keep the economy churning with government subsidized jobs than just pay that money in welfare and unemployment with zero fiscal benefit . Sheesh

    And whats not said is the government just approved massive reinvestment in rail infrustructure. Republicans might have had a say in that matter, but why use facts in todays left press

    So... some people are too incompetent to work in the private sector? Sounds like it's a good thing we have those cushy gummit and gummit contractor jerbs for them then

    perhaps the train had trust issues?
