Where on earth is that question coming from? *I'm* the one that believes in
ownership. These other guys only believe in the right to using something
because the collective has given you its permission.

So to get back to the topic of land ownership, if I find a nice spot
for a little house and a farm, and I built a little house and started
farming, I would on the land the house is on and the area that I
cultivated, right?

Let's say all the farming is done in back of the house, do I own any
of the land in front?

If so, how much of it? 10 feet? 50 feet?

Or does it depend on if I'm having friends over for a picnic in my
front yard that day?

Now let's also say there are some woods where I hunt stuff to eat. I
build a blind, do I own the land the blind is on? How about all land
I can see from within the blind? Or would it just be the land within
range of my gun?

Does anybody own the forest? What about animals? Surely, lots of
animals make their home in the forest. If they own a little part of
it, what right do I have to clear a little of it and build a house?

"Collectivism would quickly fade..." Yes, I'm sure that thanks to my

to improve the quality of their lives, and abandon the rule of law.
Geez, Shayne, do you actually have any neighbors? Maybe live in a
community of some sort? If so, you're a collectivist too.

Bullet Train Gets Rave Reviews
By LAURENCE ARNOLD, Associated Press Writer

BOSTON (AP) - For decades, the people running Amtrak had to wince when
Americans returning from overseas train trips proclaimed: ``Why can't
you do that here?''

U.S. rail officials think they've finally got an answer: the Acela
Express, a 150 mph bullet train that hit record speeds and grabbed
rave reviews Thursday on its debut Washington-to-Boston run.

A full load of VIPs nibbled on salmon, filet mignon, prosciutto and
caviar hors d'oeuvres as they made history aboard the first of 20
sleek new trains that will barrel along Amtrak's Northeast Corridor at
speeds approaching those of trains in Japan, France and elsewhere.

``Today's inaugural run symbolizes the beginning of a new era of
American transportation,'' Transportation Secretary Rodney Slater said
at a kickoff ceremony in Washington.

Regular service on the train begins Dec. 11 in the Northeast.
Legislation pending in Congress would help Amtrak raise $10 billion
over 10 years to construct other high-speed corridors around the
nation.

A nationwide system of high-speed rail would require billions of
public dollars to lay new track, straighten curves, eliminate highway
crossings and perform other upgrades of the nation's rail network.

``This is all about money,'' said Wisconsin Gov. Tommy Thompson, the
Amtrak chairman. He said the federal government gives short shrift to
railroads compared with its spending on highways and air travel.

I have a friend that has a horse. He talks a lot about how expensive it is
to own a horse. You may have to trade more than one car to afford a horse.

You have to pay for the horse, keep paying for the food, and keep paying for
the stable along with a lot of other items such as a saddle(s) for the
horse,

Its probably cheaper if you are not living in the Bay Area.

I take it you either don't ride often and when you do you don't do the
basic horsie maintainance involved.

I agree that horses are great. Love to ride when I get the chance and
know enough to be able to do the simple things involved in grooming,
care feeding, tack and such.

Horses are a ton of work and truck-load of money to maintain. If they
get sick (and they do) the bills skyrocket. They are also a bit
whacko from being associated with people for so long. A playfull nip,
shrug or flick kick can land you in the ER of the afternoon.

Give me a car for the most part.

Assuming you have a frontier here, which is what I thought you were talking
about, why does it matter how many feet? If you are worried that someone is
going to build a house right in front of yours, put up a fence.

I don't see what any of this has to do with the topic. You don't even agree
to the simple scenario of building a house and cultivating land. So there's
no point in arguing about this much narrower case.

In principle one can find even more complex cases that require legal theory
to deal with. The fact that one can find complex cases that would require
extended arguments to work out does not undercut the basic idea.

The Acela Express has 10 trains from Washington to Boston Monday
through Friday. Capacity of an Acela Express train is 362
passengers. I-95 runs all day, and 3620 passengers fit into a fairly
small number of SUVs. The train is also $178 round trip, per person.

IOW, each train pulls about 362 vehicles off the road. That is much more
than a mile worth of traffic.

IOW, the train costs about $0.21 per person per mile - a bargain compared
to driving.

And guess what: you have to run the trains much farther apart than you'd
run cars on a highway. Don't forget to factor that in...

That says the total system handles about one hour of half a lane of traffic
each way even if you use full loaded figures. Actual loads will of course
be lower. Acela seem to have a tiny effect on traffic.

Estimate assume full trains all the time which is unlikely and uses ticket
price, not cost of running the train which is higher. A worthless cost
estimate.

The didn't die a natural death. They were killed...

'Despite the success of the PCC car trolleys continued to decline.
There was a brief respite during World War II when every trolley that
could be found was pressed into service but after the war ended people
began to enjoy the freedom provided by their automobiles. Economics,
and effective lobbying by the rubber and oil interests, convinced many
interurban and city trolley operators to abandon the rails for buses.

The award winning system In Washington DC was forced to close by order
of Congress. Several of Washington's downtown lines operated on
reservations in the center of the street and many suburban lines ran
on private rights of way through the woods, making them ideal
candidates for incorporation into an upgraded transit system. DC
Transit modernized and air conditioned one car to demonstrate what
could be done with the system but Congress had its way, as it usually
does, and the system closed after almost 100 years of faithful
service. I was on the last car when it rolled into Navy Yard car house
on January 28, 1962.'

and...

'Anyone who believes more highways will solve the problem should visit
Dallas TX, Atlanta GA, or Los Angeles CA for a little reality check.
These towns are a monument to what should not be done.'

By the way, what do YOU propose?

Yes, probably about 3000 SUVs to carry those 3620 passengers. The vast
majority of Americans drive one to a car.

> The train is also $178 round trip, per person.


The costs of such train use is much more of a user fee than is the
case with roads. OTOH, the commuter trains I grew up with in the
Chicago area were both faster and much cheaper than driving into the
Loop. Not to mention a whole lot less stressful.

If road users paid actual costs on a per-use basis, the immediate
out-of-pocket cost would be much higher. Costs for urban road
building have been as high as $1 billion per mile (Boston- presumably
the Big Dig) to $333 million per mile (New York City) to $127 million
per mile (LA Century Freeway) to as low as $19 million per mile
(somewhere in New England). Interstates are relatively cheap, at $1
million to $5 million per mile; urban highways are more expensive. If
that money was recouped directly from the people driving over it, the
costs would be high and there'd probably be rioting on the roads.
Geez, people complain about $2 gasoline!

http://www-pam.usc.edu/volume2/v2i1a3s2.html

As a society we have chosen to subsidize road costs via taxes,
considering roads a public good, rather than with user fees. On the
whole, this is a system that has worked out fairly advantageously
(especially for business and industry, at very minimal cost to them).
It has also become something of a sacred cow, and the allocation of
new monies for other modes of transportation is apt to raise the ire
of the pro-roads lobbyists who (locally) are more than happy to raise
the straw man of "social engineering." However, light rail recently
opened with very promising results and a few confounds (mainly
intersections with roads that were not well thought out, given that
the trains run every 7 1/2 minutes during rush hour):

The comparison was with unrealistic with always fully loaded trains. As
long as he uses train lies as examples, it is also then fair to use fully
loaded SUVs lies as examples.

I'm only going to reply to the "predeluvian" question...

"God had been forced to exterminate the *predeluvian* world, because
it had been made unclean by angel hybrids, and now also the nations of
Canaan, with their hybrid races, were doomed to destruction."

http://bibeltemplet.net/1295en.html

So God didn't like the predeluvian world. I guess we can learn a
lesson of two... ;)

Lance replies to the subject of the train beautifully, but our friend
Ian doesn't really know how congested this *single-lane road* is and
how often the Keys are absolutely cut off because of some accident.
Building a train could only help the environment as well as the
economy, safety and the comfort of those travelling to Paradise.

As it is now, you only got Greyhound buses to Key West, vintage 1950s.
Oh, $35 one way to/from Miami...

Truck Dangles From Keys Bridge After Accident

POSTED: 8:40 am EDT July 26, 2004
UPDATED: 8:59 am EDT July 26, 2004

ISLAMORADA, Fla. -- The main road through the Florida Keys is closed
Monday morning after an accident near mile marker 71.


The crash happened on U.S. Highway 1 just before 7 a.m. Several
vehicles were apparently involved, and there is no word yet on any
injuries.

A tractor-trailer is dangling from the side of a bridge. It's hanging
by only one of its rear tires, which is still hooked onto a concrete
guardrail. The truck's cab did not go over the guardrail.

Police officials said traffic may be tied up for several hours in both
