Why? Why do we need this. I can get to Austin from Dallas in 45 minutes on Southwest. Why do I need to pay higher taxes and see acre upon acre of arable farmland and good ranchland chewed up to appease some liberal?Ellen Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02845981491726296767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-64124069230083679062015-08-19T01:41:58.720-07:002015-08-19T01:41:58.720-07:00Well Darren … we'll have to disagree on he fet...Well Darren … we'll have to disagree on he fetal tissue issue. If it's there already, why not make somw good of it? Instead, those bad Republicans pissed off CA voters and they said, we'll pay for it ourselves!. Most medical research fails, and that's why it should be sbsidized -- to enciourage it. Becas if you do manage to hit onw out of the park … like polio vaccine-- eceryone wins. <br /><br /> The train, though … so irritating. It was placed on the ballot with no realistic cost estimate … AND you have the same logistical problems you have with current rail service: you've got to get over or under the Bay, and you have to ge through the Grpevine … a proposition I would like to propose? Everyone who proposes one is required to say how much i will cost, where the mone will come from …and, should it exceed the limit? IT stops until mor money is voted on by Californians ...maxutilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11294262473781967372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-78182593176004832932015-08-18T21:22:54.079-07:002015-08-18T21:22:54.079-07:00The "green" bullet train is also not gre...The "green" bullet train is also not green. The best use of a rail system is for freight trains, and the US has the best freight rail system in the world. If the bullet train interferes with the freight rails, then there is every chance that it will be a net loss environmentally. If you have to choose between moving people by rail or freight, choose freight.Auntie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777983027361603449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10348701.post-41451995436807313692015-08-18T19:11:29.725-07:002015-08-18T19:11:29.725-07:00It's doomed, Darren.
