Quentin Kopp was the jerk most instrumental in the boffo BART to SFO that torpedoed the electrification of Caltrain and the TBT Tunnel in the early nineties, but, that said, he is still correct in pointing out that what Jerry Brown wants to build is not the hsr promised in Prop 1a.

It is what I call AmBART, regional commute rail, and detoured to the boonies via Mojave and Palmdale. In few words, **** Palmdale and the horse it rode in on.

LAHSR cannot make 2:40 and it will require a hefty subsidy to run any trains over and under and around the Loop in perpetuity.

It should go back on the ballot but it won't. Call me jaundiced, jaded, paranoid, whatever but what I see is greedhead crooks everywhere. Look at Fox, supposedly the "populist" friend of the ordinary people. As far as I could tell they totally censored the story on Aereo at the Supreme Court because they are super-rich broadcasters and hate the idea of something trying to force them to actually broadcast to everyone in their designated service area.

The FCC is useless and ought to be forced to "rebrand" the way they did Immigration. Pull the broadcasters sweet spot frequencies and sell them to the highest bidder. For instance how come network tv on cable is censored when you are paying thru the teeth for it?

Sorry to unload off topic.
