3. Where are the crossing safety signals for the trains going too fast with no brakes or steering at 1,000s of crossings?

Wow...and the scary part is there are probably millions of people that feel the way this guy does. Some people don't grasp 3 things: Physics, Necessity, and Common Sense. If the last 2 were understood more by more people, the first could be ignored, to a point. Some people just don't know how to shut their mouths and learn from the world around them, simultaneously removing benefit to themselves and adding to someone else' stress/work load. The fact that we need an organization like OLS is just crazy. I fully support the program and wish more people would pay attention, but why we still need to tell people that "trains are heavy, long transportation devices, and they don't stop quickly" is absurd in today's day and age. We darn near know what celebrities eat and drink on a daily basis, but people still don't know to stop at the railroad crossing when the lights flash. Unbelievable.

Wow, it's hard to believe that Bob Tod, or whatever the commenter's name is, has lived this long. Somebody needs to do a better job of vacuuming the gene pool!
