Altamont Press/Train Order/Etc Arguements About Reopening Lines

So I'm as guilty as anyone of getting into these pointless circular arguments that go nowhere about reopening this abandoned line or reinstating passenger service on that moribund branch - and yet I still wonder, why do any of us do it?

Is there a single person on this forum, on TO, on any of these railfan forums that any of us is going to convince as to the brilliance of our idea who is then going to go out and make it happen?

I'm all for conversation and these forums are great for that, but I kind of wonder why we waste our finger strength typing/yelling at each other when we should we sending our brilliant ideas to county supervisors, railroad presidents, someone/anyone with actual pull to get an idea going.

Just wondering.

Okay - I'm off to write a letter to someone in power in Monterey.

:-)
