RE: US government kick-starts $8 billion in high-speed rail projects
I'm glad to hear that we're finally doing something about the sorry state of our trains (not to mention the sorry state of flying). Isn't it sad in how many areas we're forced to admit that Europe and Asia (etc) are kicking our ass? I want to see us back on top in healthcare, education, standard of living, happiness, longevity, infant mortality, science, etc, etc.
