[quote=briansd1]So you support the train because you would use it. Makes perfect sense to me.
The problem I have is with people who are against programs that benefit them, which is a general theme of this thread.[/quote]
Yes, I support it because I’d use it. I know it doesn’t pay for itself through ridership, but I only have to pay a tiny portion of it. But I’m also selfish.
WRT to hypocrisies, I’m sure there are hypocrisies from everywhere you look. Hypocrisies just doesn’t exist in rural area. One example would be people who buy hybrid to be green, but then also buy a mcMansion far away from work, which require them to commute further and complain about traffic. Or how about people who are pro-choice, saying women should have the right to do whatever they want with their body, but then turn around and be anti prostitution.
