In the Krugman piece linked below, we see the following excerpt.
For example, last year George Will declared that the Obama administration’s support for train travel had nothing to do with relieving congestion and reducing environmental impacts. No, he insisted, “the real reason for progressives’ passion for trains is their goal of diminishing Americans’ individualism in order to make them more amenable to collectivism.” Who knew that Dagny Taggart, the railroad executive heroine of “Atlas Shrugged,” was a Commie?
George, I used to have respect for you as at least being a thinking conservative. Now, you aren't even that. Ah, well, at least I have an explanation as to why the right don't like choo-choos.

If the govt doesn't force the issue, how will these wondrous things ever come into being, right? And once they are built, if people don't choose to use them - then what?
Never fails, I run across something blistering relevant to M's latest absurdity after I post.
