The train line goes off in angles and tangents due to residents concerns. How would you build up top speed with that? Here is a concern. The insane can try to use the interstate system and major highways to build these things as they reduce automobiles. Time after time in history we have people who are insane and interfere with others. Instead of improving those disenfranchised they can not figure out there will always be some and use it to promote their ideas for their own leisure. If Al Gore, Leonardo DiCapprio and all the others go to a stage and willingly give up theirlives in sacrifice I will start to believe.If high speed rail can't make it in Ultraliberal California, can it make it anywhere?
I wonder how many highly-connected Democratic businessman cashed in on this colossal boondoggle.
