Railway Stupid?
So I think I’m finally catching on to why our railway/energy guys will keep on blowing up trains until they incinerate most of our major North American cities. All this time I thought it could be explained by terrorism or by the rampant greed that exploded when integrity died.
Today I’m not so sure. Perhaps our heroes (the train/energy guys) are just brain dead. (ie: stupid). So we didn’t just lose the gift of integrity – we lost our ability to think – altogether.
It was the giant Gainford Alberta railway propane explosion (Oct 19/13) that spawned this revelation. After the massive rail disaster at Lac Megantic, how could CN string together nine explosive propane rail tankers and take them all back-to-back through Edmonton and every other mountain town all the way into Vancouver?
It was apparently a 135 car train. How many cars were transporting propane? Was it one big long bomb?
Dishonest? Yes, integrity is history. Greed? Without question, but STUPID? Stupid may be the answer – and because of this reality, our energy starved cities will indeed burn.
My advice? Don’t buy a house in the brand new subdivision going up beside the railway tracks. You say you just did? Railway stupid?
