I know a few people who believe that the building super high speed trains between all capital cities would be the right thing to do by the people that cannot fly.<br>

I'd bet you could get 135k people to sign a petition demanding that proposal be supported too!<br>

But I like to fly so personally I don't wish to pay further tax to fund it.<br>
