Can you imagine if Amtrak would go high speed...Not only greener but, more enjoyable?

I think you'll find that trains are in fact NOT greener than airlines when you take the whole picture in to account.

I remember at one time paying for 199 dollars for a round trip from VA to CA on USAir (when it was called that). I got food, leg room, and free headphones for movies.

You "remember" at one time you paid that. And that's fine, but how long ago are we talking? The era of airline travel being exclusive and upscale was far before you could get a ticket for $199. I wasn't talking about 7 years ago, I was talking about 30+ years ago.

When I vacation I vacation....so what if I am on their for 3 days.

When I vacation, I don't want to spend 6 days getting there and back. Not to mention I don't vacation in places that a train could get me to. Last I checked I can't get from ATL to Asia, Europe, Africa, South/Central America, and certainly not the Caribbean. Ok, maybe I could get to a few places in Mexico, but again, why waste 6 days getting to and from somewhere when I can get there in a few hours?

because, you maybe out of a job.

Nah, if Amtrak did somehow manage to dominate the industry I'm sure I'd have a job with them.
