No need to apologize! I won't speak on behalf of everyone with this comment, but what I can say is that this editorial actually went through more revisions than others so that it could reach a point we were all comfortable with. I think the headline puts it best with "get it together or give it up."

As far as Blake's comments are concerned, I frequently bus from the west side (hence my cartoons on the bus) and live right next to the rail (some of my opinions on the rail are expressed through my Yesterday's Tomorrow cartoons.) I am but a part of the editorial board, but if there were anything I disagreed with based on my experiences as a bus-riding local, I'd speak up.
