And sometimes a great and lasting friendship begins with some tough love.
Senator Kerry's chagrin is entirely understandable, the train though a sweet ride in many respects makes pokey progress to NYC and that is due to our dilapidated rail and tunnel system.
The billion dollar appropriation JK proposes is a drop in the bucket compared to what is really needed in terms of physical improvements and more importantly public education on the potential of rail travel.
But it is a good start.
Reliable high speed rail travel answers a host of vexing problems, enviromental, political and otherwise...I hope Senator Kerry speaks out more on this topic, we need to take control of the current economic/energy "crisis" and use it to start building up an transport infrastructure that really works in the public's interest.
