How F'n stupid can the folks on Long Island really be??. If I was in charge of the LIRR for a week, the first thing I'd do, if I could get away with it, is to shut the railroad down, say for maintenance or to check the diesel exhaust for enviormential compliance, or some other bs excuse for the week and to let those self ritcheous white flight primadonnas worried about their real estate property values nosediving a/c a third track encroaching on their swimming pools drown in traffic & re-awaken as to how the LIRR is important to the overall quality of life and the economy on Long Island. Lets see one of those bloated whiners go into cardiac arrest & not make it to the hosp a/c too much traffic. Lets see how the family feels then. Bottom line, any excuse to ease traffic using increased railroad traffic is a good one.I remember when the last LIRR strike was back in the 70's & slowly but surely, Long Island was slowly dying. Strangling in its own traffic, trucking crippled & rail freight halted, Long Island was in serious trouble, to say the least. To stifle LIRR growth nowaydays is just shortsighted & stupid |
