[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 853195, member: 17969"] Its idiotic because you are comparing apples to oranges. Amtrak is a localized commuter service with many stops along the way. People who need to be someplace in a hurry dont want to sit in a commuter that stops every 10 minutes or so. You have to think outside the box. HIGH SPEED trains more, go up to 200mph, at that speed, it aint stopping every few minutes. That defeats the purpose. Amtrak is NOT RUN by the goverment. Its OWNED by the goverment but has a board of directors that run it like a private business. USPS is a private company overseen by the federal goverment but the goverment makes no decisions on operations. The USPS does NOT TAKE tax payer money. Each has an appointed board of directors and each is run like a private business. You keep saying "WE" dont want it, yet you cant explain how "YOU" speak for the rest of the state. Peace. [/QUOTE]
