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! (Begin Simpsons references now)" It's also worth pointing out that in the recent california election, a pair of bills were passed which put aside approximately $10b for the construction of California's high speed rail project.

    Oh come on now moderators, you should be ashamed! An obvious troll and you mod him up to 5? Are you guys moderating drunk again? Tsk tsk tsk.

    See, sentences like this:
    to all of you driving those stupid little Neighborhood Electric Vehichle ... while you get all the really good parking spots at the mall.
    Are an obvious sign of trolling. Also, since he isn't stating anything actually relevant in this case (he names 7 forms of power generation and still doesn't mention the one actually used for seattle), modding him +1 Informative is a clear sign of moderating under the influence.

    Sigh, and the metamoderation system won't spot this since they won't see the context...ah well, its just /., its not important eh? : )

    You must have an SUV. I have to stoop over to pump my gas.
