Why don't you guys stop stereotyping everyone! Inside the loop was about 50/50, so you can't say that Obama won anything in Oklahoma. Move on!

A more realistic issue may be is that if battery operated cars ever catch on big time, that it will blight the need for mass transit. However, with GM's new Volt expected to cost around $40,000, such cars are so far gonna be looked upon only as a rich man's toy.

Even with battery operated cars, you've still got traffic to contend with :X Only so many people can be on a highway at the same time....

No, plans are still on for that. The light-rail initiative was by the city of Kansas City and not related to Amtrak in any way shape or form.
