Wonderful... another stereotypical comment about Republicans... Well, even though I'm "anti-intellectual, anti-thought, anti-progress, anti everything," I'll voice my opinion. It's true, it doesn't matter what any article is about, SOMEONE will find something negative to say.
And it's not just conservatives, it's liberals too.
Either way, you just have to realize that a majority of the people in the community are open minded and willing to consider things like high speed rail, it's just the absent minded minority, that somehow feels this inexplicable, and irresistible desire to speak up and say stupid stuff.
You could post an article about Obama making some patriotic speech and you would still have Republicans saying something negative, eventually they'll say something about something that doesn't even pertain to the article comes up and before you know it the entire comment section is about how much they love Reagan.
You could post an article about Bush saying something about the maybe the virtues of alternative fuels and green technology and you would still have Democrats saying something negative, again eventually they'll say something about something that doesn't even pertain to the article and before you know it the entire comment section is about how glad they are for Obamacare.
All of those comment sections are completely ridiculous and can turn the most heartwarming and positive article into some monstrosity of a scandal.
It's best to just take the article as you want to take it and not even read comments. I'm noticed a HUGE reduction in my stress level since I stopped reading where the article ends.
