there is a group down, I think, in San Antonio but they are just against all public transportation. They have an ideological commitment that they do not believe in public anything, I think; but they certainly do not believe in public transportation or public rail transportation. They are just against it as a matter of principle. If we had one of these extremist groups come in, could they use this as a precedent to apply to Beaumont and to Austin and to other cities across Texas and across the United States?
