   Does anyone know whether the large sums proposed by Obama to develop high-speed rail lines in, I think, 10 different areas of the U.S. is still alive and being funded? Why can’t we have high-speed trains such as they have in Europe? China is developing even faster trains than Europe has . . .

   No wonder road rage exists…The U.S. needs to build high-speed rail, period. We can’t afford not to.
