Perhaps you should. You and all the rest of us citizens should be paying attention to the progress the rest of industialized world is making, or we're going fall to the rear. You think American corporations, or the Department of Defence, or any other entity tied into the world economy or military-industial complex don't give a D____ what the rest of the world is doing? You bet your _____ they do! And when every member of the G7, other than Canada, plus China and South Korea - virtually all the industrialized nations in the world except the United States - has moved to high speed rail, we need to sit up and take notice. It should be a wakeup call to all but those living in caves (physical or mental).
