Boone Pickens, for helping us stay focused as the economy tanks. We need a steady, wise leader for our next decade to help get us out of this mess, that\'s for sure. However, nobody seems to be talking about other ways to defeat the dependence on foreign oil........... like encourage the development of an improved, safe and clean railroad system so half of us don\'t need to use our cars every day. A recent PBS program said seniors consider alternate transportation when picking a place to retire. So there is a huge population right away that would be eager to travel by train, whether cross-country, inter-state or just next door. I think we can change our thinking about driving every where...I live in a distant suburb of Minneapolis and assure you I would take the train if it were available. How did we get to thinking that a car is the only way to travel? So yes, keep developing alternate energy. And develop alternate transportation while you are at it. Thanks. Thanks, T.
