The question was why dont we have a more robust rail system in the US. The reason is people dont want to travel by train.

There does not need to be a 15 hour differential

Um, unlike you, I don't have a need to "win" an argument against an internet twerp like you. Clearly, that's how you set your self worth.
That's sad for you.
You say "Yeah we couldnt possibly set up a network to alleviate that problem", but yet we can't even keep the phones up from coast to coast...

But there will be a substantial differential in time and air fare is already very low.

We`re in no position to abandon our cars today or even this week and I didn`t suggest that we do that. Think Big Ray.

It`s not workable now but it could be if we had the will. Europeans can travel just about anywhere by rail. Whatever happened to that American, Can Do attitude?

It's not about will it's about want. If there was a desire for a rail system we would have it.

You couldn't even fetch my coffee.
So it wasn't actually a question. I already knew that.
In fact, it was you who brought up rail travel with a statement. There was no question asked regarding it...

*****, please. The only things keeping you from giving me a "swift kick" is fear and common sense.
And yeah you did...

Rail does not give you the flexibility your personal vehicle does. That's why rails and buses have to be subsidized by government; not many people want it.
