Article about Monsanto was ‘right thing to do’
Article about Monsanto was ‘right thing to do’
A huge bravo to Lee Cataluna for having the courage to print the other side of the story regarding Monsanto (“Those wary of Monsanto’s aim should tour their property,” Star-Advertiser, Dec. 20).
Anti-GMO groups use intimidation and bullying to stifle the truth and get their way. Cataluna could have remained quiet. She spoke the truth because it was the right thing to do.
From the time that Monsanto acquired its Kunia property, it worked closely with the Japanese Cultural Center of Hawaii, spending more than $1 million and many man-hours to facilitate the adoption of 120 acres of the Honouliuli World War II internment site by the National Parks Service.
President Barack Obama officially proclaimed Honouliuli as a National Monument. Monsanto did not have to do this and did it with no publicity. Monsanto did it because it was the right thing to do.

Anti-GMO book might alter Cataluna’s views
Does Lee Cataluna think you can look at an ear of corn and know anything about the effects of genetic engineering?
Or listen to the paid programming of Monsanto employees and understand the science?
It’s probably too much to ask Cataluna to read something like “Altered Genes, Twisted Truth: How the Venture to Genetically Engineer Our Food Has Subverted Science, Corrupted Government, and Systematically Deceived the Public,” by Steven M. Druker.
If she were to, she might be a little less glib about “the hysterical distrust of science” and whether distrust of the genetic engineering project is “fearmongering,” “wildly untruthful” and “unproductive.”

Many rail riders will still have to catch buses
Many Ewa commuters will want to go to the University of Hawaii-Manoa or Waikiki, not downtown or Ala Moana, so with the current plans for rail transit, they eventually will have to transfer to a bus.
If we convert the rail guideways to bus guideways and end them at Middle Street or Iwilei, individual buses could continue on surface roads to various express destinations. Commuters could get over freeway bottlenecks and would have to catch only one express bus to do it.
Modern express buses are far more comfortable than many realize. Transit time for the existing express bus from Kapolei to Ala Moana is only about 10 minutes more than what is projected for the train, and the articulated buses currently on Honolulu roads have a capacity equal to the planned train cars.
This option could be both better and cheaper than rail. Both the Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation and the Federal Transit Authority should consider it.

Seems like president took Gabbard’s advice
I have always had great respect for our U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard.
Recently she said the United States should leave Syrian President Bashar Assad alone and let the local people handle the situation. America must stay out of changing other countries’ policies, whether democratic or not.
Look at what happened in Iraq, although its leader was insane. Now it appear that the White House is in agreement.
Good for Gabbard. I hope she keeps it up.

We are building rail for a more efficient modern multimodal transportation system that will serve more riders with lower total trip elapsed times. Public transportation is not only about commuting between distant endpoints but also locations in between. Rail will provide the fastest ride between any of its 21 stops in the heavy trunk line with greater capacity than buses and will avoid traffic congestion completely. Feeder buses to rail stations can circulate neighborhoods more frequently than the intervals for express buses travelling all the way to downtown. Rail is more efficient and is proven all over the world. There is an interesting book in the travel section at Barnes and Noble which has rail transit maps of all the systems all over the world including Honolulu. One can see that we are already way behind as more and more cities are expanding their rail systems. As elsewhere rail is for a better long term future for our children and grandchildren.
Honolulu is a small town. It is not Singapore or Tokyo. We have less than one million people. Cities of this size do not take on multi-billion dollar projects for transportation. The city and county of Honolulu is actually considering spending thousands of dollars per capita for this rail!?!? Blah, blah, blah, UKB,you can blah all you want, I just hope I am not paying you, too. If we spend $10,000.00 per capita, and we don’t improve traffic!??!?! Tokyo or Singapore would never.
The rail transit map book is a real eye opener to compare the progress of public transportation in cities all over the U. S. Mainland and the world. Honolulu is comparable to many cities presented in the book although I will concede that light rail is the configuration of choice for smaller (not the size of New Yorks and Tokyos) urban areas. The elevated rail that we are building was determined to be the best for our environment and needs. The bottom line is that for a modern city, we need rail and buses alone will never do it.
We don’t need heavy steel on steel rail. Japan’s rail system is run by a for profit company but the rail in Hawaii is a remorseless tax money eating monster.
Are we paying your joke writer’s, too. Honolulu is not a modern city–it is a banana republic. Here’s an eye-opener: Can you name me a city smaller than Honolulu that has built a rail in the last 20 years? We are very tiny. And tell me more about this “the rail transit map book”.
Our geography mandates rail. 30 years of studies can’t be wrong
wee lee kee, what 30 years of studies? Were theu conducted by you and ukuleleblue or ansaldo?
ukuleleblue says: The elevated rail that we are building was determined to be the best for our environment and needs.
Such a baloney comment. The same company that determined elevated rail to be the best fit for Oahu was the same company that said BRT would be better suited for Oahu. That was until then mayor Hannemann said “there is no place for BRT in my administration” and contracted Parsons Brinkerhoff to do another study and have BRT not considered in its findings.
Ever sat at a bus stop at one in the morning on Nimitz Highway, and Rodgers Blvd? Not one car passes by for ten minutes. O’ahu just doesn’t have enough people living here to sustain using the rail at the hour.
Merry Christmas, Uku. I wish you all the best for the New Year, as well. But you are still, and always will be, wrong.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well. These discussion boards are for exchange of views and opinions and are entertaining even if there is disagreement.
It’s sad that the rail projet needs to pay someone to post propaganda on this forum. It’s really not working because nobody believes those long winded rantt in support of rail.
And merry Christmas to you ukuleblue. While some here are upset by your posts, they have generally been correct. Amazing that so many would prefer to just sit in traffic rather than change their habits.
I never disagree with my puppies.
I consider posting a great hobby and good for old age.
Boots says: While some here are upset by your posts, they have generally been correct.
Um, WRONG!!! Every time Ukuleleblue posts something, they’ve been proven wrong. Kalaheo1 proves Ukuleleblue wrong everytime, along with many other people on here.
Again with the “Rail is for a better long term future for our children and grandchildren.” Come on Uku, you know that “just ain’t true.” Our children and grandchildren will be burdened with an insane annual O&M cost.
Yes, it is so much better if we continue to do nothing and let the horrendous commute continue with no options. If people are dumb enough to buy out there, they can wait and wait, and wait some more. Pathetic.
Better than spending billions on something that isn’t going to improve what they said it would improve. Do have the final cost by the by?
Who is saying to do nothing? Our CURRENT freeways will NOT stay the way they are forever. Expand IT now, at EIGHTY percent Federal funding that benefits NINETY percent of residents. First things first because, again, it will eventually have to get done anyway JUST like every other city does on an ONGOING basis.
Boots continues to ignore the fact that the $10 – $15 Billion rail will NOT eliminate the H-1 bottlenecks at the H-1/H-2 merge and the H-1/Ola Lane merge.
Conversion of Rail guideway to 2/3 lane reversible to Aala Park for under $2 Billion will ELIMINATE the two bottlenecks.
Delete the rail stations, maintenance yard, power plants and land acquisitions for parking structures will eliminate Billions from the project.
rail will
Poor Hybrid, the train will give an option to those who live out there. If I lived out there, I sure would appreciate an alternative to sitting in traffic all day. Train should be pushed to be expanded, not reduced. Fasi was right!
Boots, an option for what? The option will be to drive in traffic or spend hours commuting to the rail, on the rail and then commuing from the rail to another destination, making the work days even longer.
Sadly, because express buses to town will be cancelled, many people won’t have any choice ut to spend 2-4 hours getting to and from work instead of a 1 hour express bus ride.
Poor boots: here are some facts that you all the Demo-tax-crazies always ignore:
1. The offramp at Punahou has been a bottle neck for 50 years. Why? because DOT refuses to coordinate the red-green light flow on Punahou street. the lights actually turn Gr-R back ward stopping flow to schools, Makiki and Manoa=back up all the way down the freeway.Cost to correct=~200K$!
2.The best bus routes in Honolulu(since the electric trolley…100Years, now) have been downtown to Waikiki and then later in history, Kaimuki to downtown. All the other routes are “feeder routes that run inefficiently with logn waits. This has not changed in 100+ years !! Why? Because there is no kickback, construction union collusion in buying more buses and running them.
3.Revamping bus routes for Oahu would serve ALL. and…for example, $1B only you could buy 10,000 buses! That is 19 $B less than the future rusted rail and serves ALL!
Keolu, some day the system will be completed and expanded. Someday, probably not in my life time, the system will probably go from Kahala Mall to Campbell Industrial park, possibly a side to Mililani besides connecting the UH and Waikiki. Have some imagination.
Boots says: “Poor Hybrid, the train will give an option to those who live out there. If I lived out there, I sure would appreciate an alternative to sitting in traffic all day. Train should be pushed to be expanded, not reduced. Fasi was right!”
1) The train doesn’t go to Ewa, Kapolei, or Waianae. It goes to a developer’s previously stalled development instead. If the train is a selling point for their latest land scheme, let the developers pay for it instead of taxing struggling families’ food, medicine, rent, and clothing. Your progress ideals evaporate the moment it’s someone from your team who wants corporate welfare.
Mayor Fasi’s proposed train went from Kahala Mall to Aloha Tower. It was a terrible idea then and an even worse idea now. Why do our politicians keep wanting to run the train to luxury malls instead of to where local families need to be?!
Boots, you obviously don’t get it. The rail was’n’t built to relieve traffic. It was politcal payback to the unions and developers.
If rail was truly meant to relieve traffic, we would have built the first leg from UH to Ala Moana or the stadium so that we have a useful rail line from the beginning.
Instead we have built a useless segment from Ewa to Waipahu and eventually to Ala Moana.
We know that when UH is on break, traffic is manageable. But UH will not even be a part of e equation until maybe we finally reach Ala Moana. Then who knows if taxpayers will be favorable to capable of paying billions more to connect Ala Moana to UH.
The current version of rail is simply a boondoggle to pay off unions and developers. Sorry, I call it as I see it. If the current project were on time and on budget, I wouldn’t even be commenting on it now.
Sarcasm aside, without rail, our children and grandchildren have no future.
All joking aside, rail will doom our children and grandchildren to paying for the rail forever whenever they buy a soda, a happy meal, or medicine.
That is total BS Uku. When school is out or its NOT rush hour, I can drive WAY faster than the rail and go shopping, pick up kids, etc.
Using buses on that elevated roadway would make much more sense but its seems common sense is GONE in hawaii.
Anyone that thinks spending over 6 BILLION dollars for a 20 mile single rail line to a shopping mall is INSANE !!!
Love your implied solution to traffic. Just cancel school. Let the kids roam the neighborhoods.
No bozo, BUILD more ROADS and WAKE UP !!
You can’t build ten’s of thousands of NEW homes with NO NEW ROADS. That is INSANE !!
Ukuleleblue wrote: “Rail is more efficient and is proven all over the world.”
More efficient than what? Rail will never be efficient if it doesn’t go where people need to go. It was supposed to go from Ewa and Kapolei to UH. Instead it goes from a developer’s previously undevelopable land scheme well outside those areas to luxury, tourist mall instead. Now who does that serve? Certainly not the struggling local family who are paying more for food, medicine, clothing, and rent to pay for this out of control feeding frenzy.
Why don’t you think these developers and corporations should be paying for a train that serves their interests? And while you’re at it, maybe you can finally tell us where it is on the mainland that you live and what your connection is to this mess of a rail project.
Rail: Let’s run through this again.
10 minutes to GET to a bus that will TAKE you to a rail stop
10 minutes wait FOR that bus (cause you can’t just get there the minute it arrives)
15 minutes for bus to DRIVE you to a rail stop
20 plus minutes for the 20 plus STOPS
20 minutes for the actual TRAVEL(THAT’S at 60 mph – mile a minute- of which it will NOT be due to stops and starts)
10 minutes wait for the bus to PICK YOU UP from the rail stop
15 minutes for the bus to take you where you’re REALLY going
OVER ONE AND A HALF HOURS!! And HOW many BILLIONS to pay for the OCCASIONAL day when it MAY take 2 hours?
And the sheeple voted on this without even know how much it would cost to ride. STILL don’t know and they’re STILL yapping about how good it’s going to be. Ignorance IS bliss, I guess.
Add the pit stops for your bladder time, too.
Bogus numbers.
I guess the FACTS are just bogus for you pro-railers. Bunch of lolo’s
wiliki’s common strawman argument. He’ll whine about lies or bogus numbers but can NEVER identify what is a lie or what numbers are bogus.
Whereas, I can easily identify that wiliki lied about the rail being already paid for and his denial that rail is currently projected to cost 6.57 billion and climbing.
Merry Christmas (late) and happy New Year, uku – but Rail is still a symptom of pay to play and a massive waste of resources & money that could have been used to rebuild Honolulu’s crumbling infrastructure.
GMO crops allow more yield per acre to feed the every increasing population of the world.
How lucky for Monsanto that you need to buy the seeds from them every year to get that yield.
One company controlling the seeds and one day controlling the food supply is very dangerous. But hey seems lots of people have NO COMMON SENSE !
agree.
GMO crops enables the world to consume increasing amounts cheap unhealthy foods to a rapidly increasing obese population.
What is unhealthy about GMO foods? Advocates of organic and non-GMO who believe they are healthy need to read and learn about what has happened the Chipotle Mexican Grill chain during the past several months. CMG was the leader in using locally grown, organically grown, non-GMO products and ingredients from free range animals instead of those kept in pens. It sounded good to the organic and non-GMO food lovers, but then E-coli traced to those food products led to dozens of people contracting the disease and the closure of dozens of CMG restaurants in the Pacific Northwest. I challenge anyone to cite one example of anyone getting sick from eating a GMO product.
You’re confusing correlation with causation. e coli doesn’t discriminate or have a higher chance of occurring in GMO vs. organic or vice versa. Chipotle (or their suppliers) screwed up, but “organic” has nothing to do with it.
IRT Les Goto:”Monsanto did it because it was the right thing to do.” Monsanto is a huge corporation that does not do things because they are the “right” things to do. They do it for profit. This tiny gesture has already reaped them the benefit of using this far flung state surrounded by ocean as a lab that will contain any accident if they lose control of their experiments. They only losers in that scenario are the people and environment of Hawaii.
Profit is not a dirty word… after all there are only three reasons for a company to be in business: 1. To make money. 2. To make money. 3. To make money. Try start your own business, you’ll se.
Toby Allen has correctly identified one of the worst foreign policy mistakes the U.S. has made over the past century: changing regimes in other countries. While his letter focuses on this mistakes in Iraq and Syria, the U.S, has made this mistake in many other counties from Latin America (many times), to Iran (1954), to Vietnam (repeatedly in the 1960’s). I can’t think of a single example of U.S.-sponsored regime change that has either stabilized a country or benefited the citizens of that country.
Perhaps the nation of Hawaii? lol ducking
I don’t see how rail will improve the commute to and from West Oahu when A. There is no point to point trains; you cannot go from Makakilo to Downtown without stopping every mile. B. The trains will not go from Waianaie to Hawaii Kai so you will still have terrible commute time. The trains are manufactured in Italy by a company on the verge of bankruptcy. Until someone pulls there head out and opens there eyes like everything else it will either be a total failure or at best a major disappointment because of the half-ass planning and using a foreign half bankrupt company to supply trains and parts to repair the trains. ukuleleblue if you think the train will be an improvement I hope your right but the light you see coming at you in the tunnel is not the end of the tunnel but a broke down train sitting dead in the water because the manufacture is bankrupt and you can’t get spare parts and they have to be made by an American company at twice the cost.
Reamesr1: I don’t think you’ve ever watched buses crawl along with the truck and car traffic. The HOV lanes are a joke–they’re just as slow as the rest of traffic, partly due to cheaters.Buses simply do not avoid the gridlock. If the train takes people from Waianae, Kapolei and Ewa to downtown without their cars downtown will be lots less congested and feeder buses will be able to get people to their jobs and schools much quicker.
Really? The way “other” cities(smarter, non-corrupt ones) do it is dedicated bus lanes that have no other allowed cars etc. in them. The express buses move right down the highway/freeway lanes unimpeded to central drop off points where the commuter can then catch a bus to there final destination. The rail has : no capacity, too many stops, no parking for commuters, extremely high maintenance(think: Stadium rust??) and for all the “anti-bus” people, commuters on the train will still have take another bus(and in the case of Ala Moana Center,2 buses) to get to work!
the train doesn’t go to waianae, w. kapolei or ewa. No one from those areas is gonna drive their car/take a bus to E kapolei just to take the train.
So, Citizen X. You compare our bus system and neglected highway system, with the usual annual budget and usual fed contribution (I don’t know what amount), to a yet-to-be-built $10 billion dollar train. All of you railroaders think we love gridlock? What we want is real traffic improvement but for a reasonable cost. Your choo-choo does not improve traffic at the cost of about $10,000.00 per capita. If that were a firecracker, it would be a dud–no bang for the buck. No improvement–just an alternative. It is not even a reasonable alternative for many people in Waianae, Kapolei, Ewa, or even Pearl City and Waipahu.
Yes. If you live in Waikele (Waipahu!) or Waipio (Waipahu) or lower Waipahu, tell me how the train will help. You could bus backwards to the Waipahu station (really?) or bus forward to the Leeward community college or Pearl City stations. No parking. Pretty much impossible or unsafe to bicycle or walk that far. Heck, LCC and Pearl City Highlands take a long time to reach. Maybe the buses can avoid the gridlock. DOH! You said it X, buses cannot avoid the gridlock. So tell me how the average Waipahu resident will benefit from this big honking screaming mess that runs big and high smack dab down main street.
druker = seralini = gruber.
What is worse than looking at the progress of Honolulu’s rail? Reading arguments that support its construction. If voters would both wake up and vote, Honolulu could rid itself of the politicians who forged the bills that cleared the path for rail. For the supports of rail, you have no vision other than dollar signs emerging from real estate deals–transit oriented development. For the few who read and participate in these comments, look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SkyTran.
IRT “Article about Monsanto was ‘right thing to do’” It is right to acknowledge good when it happens. Monsanto knows it is one of the most hated corporations on the planet for many good reasons and would like to beef up their public relations budget to see if they can buy some “good boy” points. I also helps with employee moral. The real Monsanto is about the ethics in the corporate board room. There is no trust in this exercise because of a few good deeds. There is much at stake and the public must be ever vigilant of the present and long term affects on the future. The increasing use of poisons is not like a drop of spilt paint … it is more like a stain that keeps spreading through our environment and including our bodies. The precautionary principle is a must.
Rail as it’s being built will have no significant effect on traffic and it will not improve anyone’s liife so let’s get off that propaganda. All rail is doing is ensure that we pay more tax everytime you buy a plate lunch or soda, or go to the doctor or buy medicine. Because rail doesn’t go to UH, the main source of traffic, rail is just a dog and pony show eating up tax dollars.
We should end rail at Middle street. Because west side rider will have abandoned their cars, shuttle busses can be waiting to whisk riders to UH or their final destination. This will save billions and improve the lives of our children and grandchildren.
For some reason opponents still say rail goes from Kapolei to Ala Moans, as if there were no places to get off or on the train in between. It stops at places where people need to get on to get to and from work in Waipahu, Aiea, the airport, Kalihi, Kakaako and downtown. Forget Ala Moana, most everyone will get on or off before the end of the line. In 5 years when the train is running H-1 will be completely impassable. You’ll be in gridlock traffic at 3 mph the whole way. What to do? Take the train and avoid the mess. think beyond this coming Monday morning, people. What will we have in 5 or 10 years? Tens of thousands of people in cars on the freeway with no way out? The rail is the beginning of a whole new way to get around town. Eventually it’ll go to UH Manoa and Wiakiki. For goodness sake, please think 10 or 20 years into the future; it starts now.
Well said.
Eventually it will go to UH. And at a cost of another mere 20 billion dollars?
For 20 billion, you’d have to factor in spurs into Waikiki, a spur through UH, Kcc, and kahala mall, a spur to Wahiawa and a spur to Waianae. 2nd increment of rail.
So we need 50 billion to build these extensions? Where’s the money going to come from?
Idiot. Our money could be much better spent. You should compare our choo-choo train to $10 billion dollars in freeway improvement. X compares it to nothing, oh. Train or gridlock? That was not the choice, ever.
The $10 Billion rail to AMC will take only 3,000 commuters per hour compared with conversion of the rail guide way to a 2/3 lane Reversible will carry 20,000 commuters per hour for under $2 Billion.
200 Commuter Buses on a dedicated Bus (HOV-2) lane on the existing freeway H-1 and Reversible Nimitz will carry 10,000 commmuters per hour at a cost of less than $5 Million.
Why didn’t it start in Nanakuli or even West Kapolei if you wanted to lower the traffic burden? If you’re concerned about ridership, why didn’t it go to Ewa where there’s choke people with choke cars? nope. it’s about pay to play and union bosses wielding their power sticks over the politicians.
Campbell Estate owned the land about the rail station slotted for high density building development.
I agree. Hoopilli & Koa Ridge will add about 20000 with for about 80000 more people. Not to mention condos built around the stations.
Thanks for confirming that the rail will make traffic worse than it is today.
Koa Ridge! You are so obtuse. You know that people from Koa Ridge cannot ride the train. When traffic is bad, it will take an hour perhaps to make it to Pearl Ridge or Leeward CC. Thats by car, but there is no parking. So they will have to bus about an hour or so to make it to the train station. Awesome. So, no, they will not be riding the train. All will own cars, as there is few local businesses within “bussing distance”. The developers were gifted a windfall, all they have to do for infrastructure is what?, build one new onramp to the freeway!!!!! Why do we even bother with you.
Citizen X says: “For some reason opponents still say rail goes from Kapolei to Ala Moans”
No, because THE TRAIN DOESN’T GO TO KAPOLEI!!!!
Please stop claiming that it does. If you can’t defend this train without lying, then you can’t defend the train.
The train was supposed to from traffic weary west side communities like Kapolei, Ewa and Waianae to UH. I didn’t come up with that, you guys did. Don’t blame me for you and your politician and developer friend’s bait and switch.
Has anyone ever contacted theDisney corporation to see if they would be interested in building a tourist type Monorail that connects UH, the Zoo, and Ala Moana Center? Hawaii gives them the right-of-way… Disney builds and runs it.
I’m dumping my DIS shares if they ever do that.
Better to build a maglev elevated monorail into Waikiki along Kuhio. Waikiki would prefer that for its workers and visitors too.
Since when do you speak for Waikiki and their employees?
Tulsi is by far the Brightest Bulb ,out Hawaii Gang of four! Because of her military background,Mazie Hirono and Brian Schatz can only dream of being like Aunty Tulsi.
I just wish she could acted sooner & have persuaded the president,in leaving an additional 20K troops in Iraq before ISIS had gotten to be a Major NFL Player! And Yes!…This is HOW it ALL STARTED! ALL this mess.
And addressing the Mass influx of Syrian refugees fleeing their country. Which has Flooded into Europe…This one was a MAJOR mistake …I know ,I know… Turkey also shares the blame in this.
Happy New Year Tulsi!
I wish her the Best in the coming New Year. Cause..She’s gonna need it!….anyway I digress>
Props to my fellow bloggers by wishing other bloggers a “Merry Christmas”…and a Happy New Year. During these happy holidays, we should not give in to this political correctness or to acknowledge or be ashamed by just saying…..”MERRY CHRISTMAS”! IMUA
Beside, Gabbard is also the best looking, too.
Baloney, it’s the president’s strategy.
Fire Ernie. He’s delaying rail.
Fire grabby and the mayor. Theyre messing up rail.
Patrick Brown recommends reading a single book, which is anti-GMO, to alter one’s views about GMO crops. There is also a long list of books, however, that are pro-GMO, as well as a number of books and essays that discuss the issue on both sides. In my opinion, the best policy is to review the literature as widely as possible in order to form your own more informed conclusions rather than relying on a single source of literature and a great deal of noise from public forums. Might I suggest reading a book called “What Technology Wants,” by Kevin Kelly? While it is not a direct discussion of issues such as GMO crops it is an interesting discussion about how technology evolves, and how the decision to utilize technological innovations is a matter of degrees of benefit or adverse results instead of a clear black-and-white determination of the “rightness” or “wrongness” of an innovation.
It is interesting that Steven M. Druker has positioned himself as the “medicine man” against GMO. First of all, he is an attorney, not a scientist. He founded the Alliance for Bio-Integrity where he is President, Chief Executive Director, and Co-Attorney (guess that his wife is the other)for it. In other words, he has almost total control of it. Seems like he caters to the gullible, uneducated, unscientific people who have no clue as to the benefits of GMO. May I suggest a website, http://www.gmo-compass.org, where one can review findings from the European community. Finally, I’d to commend Lee Cataluna for writing the article that provoked this discussion.
Yikes, 5 more years of back n’ forth on Rail…..the moment of truth will be after you step off of Rail and say, “Never again” or “Let’s do it again”.
