Fear is something we all have to face in our lives. Whether it is fear of not having a job, being discriminated against for your race/religion/sexual orientation or just being afraid of the dark, we all have fears that we hope to overcome one day.
I am tired of being afraid of where our transportation system has taken us. Over the last few years our country has faced a devastating oil spill, has watched terrifying images of our bridges falling apart and has sat in fear over the changing price of gas and when it will run out.
It is time for our country to make some serious changes. Luckily, Wisconsin is in a position to lead our country into a new transportation future by committing to building a high-speed rail. By having a high-speed rail here in Wisconsin, we will be able to reduce the traffic on our already overly congested roads, lessen our dependence on oil and get from city to city in a fast, convenient way.
The only way we are going to stop the major transportation problems our country is facing is by moving beyond our current system of oil, gas and personal cars to a more efficient, eco-friendly, public-friendly transportation system like high-speed rail. With a high speed rail, instead of fear, I can feel hope for future generations.
