Haven’t you seen that is what got us into this mess? I mean come on the increased oversight of the deregulation of an overstaffed regulatory commission appointed by a blue ribbon panel can’t have over looked the idea that we, as mere civilians are capable of choice. Not the easy breezy which button to push to order our prepackaged, super duper discounted value meal on the order by number menu choices, but real choices such as “I do not like his store or prices, I will not shop there.” I don’t know, you are pushing an anarchistic chain of events here. I mean if we all had a real choice how would legislators keep their jobs? Hell how would the power, coal, and telephone company’s stay in business, let alone the bastion of good ideas Amtrak? Seriously we had a choice; planes, trains, buses or cars; we choose and they have shown us that rail is not only better; it is the “future.” You’re crazy. Quoting some old guy, come he could not have had any idea what we are facing today…or maybe if we followed his simple principles we wouldn’t see this sh!t today. Dammit the past rings true again.
