Because freedom is based on money.

Hardy har har. Your humor is as stagnant as your train, but not as dangerous as the conept’s threat to taxpayers. In fact, you all did creepily troll the internet for information on me and threatened to sue me for libel (Feb. 27). You and your crayon buddies dost protest too much, and insult people, and lie, when people criticize your “I-can-make-any-claims-I-want-about-costs-and-technology-because-it-exist-only-as-a-Crayola-creation” chooch.

Here’s what you said on Feb. 27. I admit I need my caffeine adjusted, but you need bitterness management classes taught by Sqeaky:

“You stike me as a bitter old man disparaging other’s efforts to create economically doable solutions to replace the “old think” that is so prevalent in the “industry” If you know of actual fraud, then you need to report it to the authorities otherwise you might want to review the statutes on libel. If I am, as you say, famous in the “industry” then it must be for not tolerating the mentally constipated such as yourself”

You are a sweetie, Bobular.

(1) The short line wants to make sure they still have a viable business but are happy to work with passenger trains;
(2) BNSF is unconditionally happy to work with passenger trains;
(3) UP is somewhat hostile to passenger trains.

This is typical throughout the country west of the Mississippi. (East of the Mississippi, the railroads are NS and CSX rather than BNSF and UP.)

You needn’t worry, we don’t want to sue you, we just want you to get your medications adjusted.

Lyle Lanley: It glides as softly as a cloud.
Apu: Is there a chance the track could bend?
Lyle Lanley: Not on your life, my Hindu friend.
Barney: What about us brain-dead slobs?
Lyle Lanley: You’ll be given cushy jobs.

There’s billions of dollars in federal funds out there for high speed rail. I’ll spend my days (in between squegeeing out toenail fungus) posting on websites, hoping to find that one naive or corrupt politician with enough power to replace a railroad project with my tubular rail concept. The taxpayers of this magical land will foot the bill for all reasearch and development of my pipe dream (arrrrrg) so I don’t have to find investers. Then, when the money runs out and my untrain doesn’t unrun, I’ll sit in my padded room watching reruns of Mr. Ed and singing honky tonk budunk budunk in the key of C minor. But not before combing the internet so I can threaten to take legal action against warrior Jay Tulock for panning my idea and saving taxpayers like some sort of angelic batman figurine. Whaaaaaa!

Moral to politicians and taxpayers: Use proven technology to keep costs down and save your constituents money. You don’t want to be the place with the flashy new quark/solar powered gizmorail.

By not needing tracks or bridges, the capital costs can be reduced by 50% or more. And considering the billions needed for any one route but knowing only $8 billion is available nationwide, a fact that truly verklemps any government or company coffer, any government official would be wise to reconsider the train technology they are choosing to use. Tubular Rail technology represents a smart, fast, affordable, energy efficient and grade-separated system that can create jobs and keep tax dollars locally, instead of sending them to foreign nations where foreign companies that control high-speed rail technology reside. Want to understanding by seeing? Watch our “trackless train” technology from the Discovery Channel program called “FutureTrains” here: . Then ask yourself if Oregon is futuristic enough to try Tubular Rail train technology out. The public, generally, wants a train option if its affordable and fast. When the concept of railroads is re-thought, as Tubular Rail has done, we represent a new, smart and cool system choice that is matched to the future. Other industries look for advances and consumers expect as much. Why is any advancement in train transportation always confronted by the status quo with such fear? We have lights instead of candles, jet’s instead of bi-planes, cars instead of buggies. So why not Tubular Rails instead of conventional steel-wheel-on-steel-track trains. We are not a railroad, but we are a 21st Century answer to a 19th Century technology.
