Dog vs. Train

Generally I think most people are stupid, but I think it's because everyone is really fighting for themselves as crazy as their ideas are for anyone else.

Anyway, this has to do with a new commuter rail line they're putting in in Massachusetts. The Boston Globe has an article about the increased costs of the line because of the lawsuits and settlements they're dealing with. Interesting that there were 18 legal challenges to the line, and the T won all of them. But this comes at a cost, and so you're going to hear the same people that went forward with the legal challenges, complaining about the cost of the project.

The best part of this whole article:

"T officials also said that they seriously considered a woman's request to have the T pay for Prozac for her dog, who she said would be traumatized by the train noise. The woman's claim was eventually denied."

What a waste of time and money.
