Americans have spent two centuries idolizing Europe with its grand architecture and great trains. Maybe it's time to ask why we don't have a similar rail system in the US.

And now with bullet trains in Europe and China, Americans are left in the ruins of a rapacious capitalism that deprived us of this sane and civilized method of transportation.
