Re: Yes, there will be a train

I feel a bit like I'm about to launch into a paraphrasing of "Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus".
In truth, the analogy is an apt one. Faith DOES move mountains, and, to change metaphors, I suppose that an ant with sufficient faith COULD move a rubber tree plant.

When enough people truly believe in something, and when they have the right ideas about what direction to start pushing, and when they have the faith to believe it is possible, mountains start moving.
So the question of the day is "Roll up our sleeves to do - WHAT?".
The next mountain to be moved is another mountain of MONEY.
Many of us have already given until it hurts.
To be sure, some of that money has been wasted. When you give ANYTHING, there is the risk of waste.
Some of us are about to launch yet another money-raising campaign. It's designed to channel as much money as possible directly into the locomotives. Stay tuned.
