Seattle Monorail & California High Speed Rail Move Forward
bscottid writes "Woo-hoo! The monorail passed in Seattle!. And, it was driven by an amazing grass-roots effort of people who saw a way to use technology to get us moving again here in The Emerald City. Everyone mark your calendars, because in 2007 you're invited up here to take a quick, scenic ride around the beautiful city of Seattle!

This terrible parody brought to you by a bored college student.
My Karma is so good, I'm the Dalai Lama...or something.
The government apathy towards the commuter rail industry is too extreme to be accidental.
Just out of curiosity, how does one develop "extreme apathy?" Wouldn't that be like "record-breaking mediocrity?" Or is it an ESPN2 show for the lazy kids -- XTREME APATHY! This week: laying on the couch and not fucking moving! Also: highlights from the 2002 North American Shrugging Championship.
They that would sacrifice their
