Within 25 years, our goal is to give 80 percent of Americans access to high-speed rail. This could allow you to go places in half the time it takes to travel by car. For some trips, it will be faster than flying –- without the pat-down.While appearing on "Charlie Rose" recently, Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano said:
I think the tighter we get on aviation, we have to also be thinking now about going on to mass transit or to trains or maritime.
Who is "Our" and how will they "Give" without first stealing from all of us at gun-point? Put the stupid little public school voting sheeple into cattle cars where they belong.
ReplyDeleteApparently when he said “high-speed rail systems were already underway in California” he was unaware that construction on it wasn’t scheduled to start until late 2012.
ReplyDeleteFor this to work, the high-speed rail is the last step in a long chain. You need to rezone cities for higher-density housing and mixed commercial development, develop and extensive system of local feeder lines, and then and only then can you create a high-speed link that works. In the US, only parts of New York city, possibly Boston and possibly Philadephia approach these requirements, in a limited fashion. And they already have the high-speed links.
