i really don't understand the mindset that considers
passenger rail as a transportation alternative when
our society has come down on the side of auto

Well, Ken, are you gonna chauffeur me for free
in that rental car?
Because on the train, I can sit down, log on, and entertain
myself, arriving rested and relaxed. Whereas driving is boring
and a pain in the backside.
And Ken, I'm sorry that you say you have have such difficulty
in understanding a mindset different from your own.
An inability to appreciate that not everyone is like you,
and an inability to allow non-conformity is NOT good.
It's a lot like ignorance and authoritarianism. Free people
want to be able to choose whether to drive, ride a train,
or fly. Unless you are the Commissar of Transportation in
old Moscow, it's really not your business to tell others
how to get around.
