As I read all the pro, con and confused and accusatory posts on this thread, I stand back and wonder what it will ever take, for some...even many, to grow up and look to the future and not at the past.
Perhaps it is time for all...to take a deep breath and give it a rest.
The past is what it is...and nothing can change it.
The future is yet to be written.
Will the future be written by those with positive energy or will another excuse surface to start another round of "ill will".
The future of the loop and other projects is unknown at this writing...but one thing is for sure.
If all the engergy and emotion expressed in this internet thread were put to positive and constructive use...the future for the loop and other RR restoration projects, would look,....
........ A HELL OF A LOT BRIGHTER!
