This was the best Colbert bit I've seen in a long time. I was literally doubled over. Well done. Well done.

What's interesting is these so-called police who are "protecting" us are actually committing terrorism themselves:
That's the definition of "Domestic Terrorism." Hopefully, someone will get smart and accuse one of these morons of terrorism and get them charged. Even if they aren't convicted it'd be enough.B) appear to be intended— (i) to intimidate or coerce a civilian population;

Thanks to OTOL I have learned of another Arrest for Photographing trains, well subway. Here is a Link to the newspaper Article The description by the New York Times is down right scary regarding Americans loss of freedoms since 9/11. And worse where is the logic to this type of Action?

there is no logic. i bet if you had a 10yr old child snap a picture of a train they would either arrest the child or arrest the parents saying there training him to be a terrorist. america is no longer land of the free.

Thought I would add this here. 35028 Clan Line and the UK VSOE 'Orient Express' train on a lunchtime circular tour around Surrey from London Victoria.
Typical in that the light was rubbish till the train went by then the sun came out for the rest of the day......
Such is life.

As time permits we're moving topics found in other forums that now belong in the newly created forums that are gradually appearing. This just happened to be one that I found earlier while moving some VIA rail posts. And yes, the OP was banned, sadly. 
One of the very few that Anthony and I have ever done; in fact in more than 10 years I think that there have only been 3 or 4 people banned.
We don't normally comment on why, but let's just say that he sent some not very nice comments to someone on the forum by PM and leave it at that.

Alan,
Take care and take trains!
