   Oh, OK, you didn't actually read it.  I'll let anyone else who cares look   
   at item #3 and see what it says.

   Yeah, the train from Chicago to San Francisco used to run through   
   Wyoming but was rerouted south some years ago, I believe to try and   
   save money by consolidating it with another train.  So of course the   
   "solution" is not to restore service that people in Cheyenne used to   
   have, it's cut cut cut so we can lower taxes on the rich.  In the   
   meantime, since I personally have never driven on I-25, I still want   
   my money back.   
      
   For anyone still reading, when I say the beef, beer, and pork I eat   
   are raised here in New York, I mean I can tell you the names of the   
   people who do so, most of whom I know personally.
