| Message | Sounds like a fantastically bad idea. Limited rail space, crammed with carriers trying to compete. Sounds like a recipe for mayhem. We applaud the CWFP joining us in our fight against technology. |

| Message | TDP, if there is LIMITED rail space that is (in your words) "crammed with carriers trying to compete," what do you think is going to be the RATIONAL decision that those private train carriers will make in order to MAXIMIZE their PROFIT??? That's right: the PRICE of a train ticket will steadily DECREASE thus RAISING the Standard of Living for the Poor and Middle Class [ :) ]!!! |

| Message | We realise that the CWFP grasp of reality is tenuous at best, but how they imagine train carriers lowering prices is going to make more space on rails, or somehow allow trains to.. what? jump over each other? run through each other? It embrasses us to have voted in the same direction as the CWFP, since we are worried that we will also be painted as incapable of calculating even the most basic equations of space versus occupier. |
