High Speed Rail - The Texas T-Bone

Federal stimulus funds have brought talks of a high speed rail system back to Texas. The proposal for the Texas T-Bone further proves the necessity for immediate eminent domain reform so propery owners will be protected when their land is taken for a public use.

This is exeactly why America is being surpassed by other nations, idiots that are narrow minded and afraid of change. The staying with planes and cars only is a jackass's idea

What Robert Fleming says about cars makes him seem like a jackass.

i wanna do without a car!

Its people like Robert Fleming and Southwest Airlines that hold up positive progress. No wonder we're having to play catch-up with Europe and Japan. And what does he mean when he said we wouldn't be able to use our cars? I mean we'd still have them, just use them less. And no we don't have the infastructure, thats why you BUILD it! High speed rail in texas would be 50 times better than that horrible Trans-Texas corridor thing they thought up.

@pawpawnorth it's cool.

@refresh967 well, I did not know that statistic, and sorry, I guess I was generalizing Texas, I know there are progressive people like you in Texas, and, luckily Illinois farmers are cool with it or else we would have this dillema haha.

@refresh967 Somewhre were people like sarah palin stay out of public attention and citizens have reasonable public debate without liberals getting shot by republicans all the time

@sabethafiredept exactly, if america falls, dont go to europe. protests and the euro currency is failing very bad. more like china or russia. russia if free and china is changing from commie to democracy.

@refresh967 Thank you, I live in Kansas and it is just as bad here. Everybody watches Fox News and are completely ignorant and mislead on almost every important political issue. Its so frustrating. I will move to France someday when America fails because of these people. I love my country and don't want the large population of morons to destroy it with their idiocracy. This is just one of many issues that stupid people cock block

If the rednecks would have just shut up.

1. Texas would have been like the best place to live like in the world because of economy and progress.

2. We would have had a high speed rail system YEARS ago!

3. Houston(4th largest city in america) would actually have zoning laws but no the stupid rednecks said no and now theres so freaking factory or a drug/liqour store right next to a church, and a fckin gun store near a school!

STUPID REDNECKS!!!!!!

@pawpawnorth texas uses more alternative energy then your state and california combined. wind farms, yes, solar farms, yes, houston has like solar everything yet it still makes oil. because the rest of the nation needs it. the reason texas gets made fun of is because it where the dumbass rednecks live that are too afraid for change like a high speed rail. did u know houston, texas trid to snd out this law makn it able to actually have zoning lws and the citizns refsed it?(4th bigst city in U.S)

@sabethafiredept i know. The only thing i hate about living in texas is having these stupid " yee hah, ol yay" fatass rednecks who are narrow minded are afraid of change. They are stupid. This would have been in texas long a fucking go if these dumbass rednecks just shutted up! i would be able to have a very good job in dallas and live all the way in houston and just take a highspeed train there. Fucking rednecks.
