The Engineer of Wreckonciliation gives the signal for full speed ahead, ignoring the concerns of the American people.
The fireman and the brakewoman defiantly assert that they will ignore any obstruction on the tracks. Full speed ahead!
Do you remember learning railroad hand signals as a kid? You never knew when you might have to stop a train, so the Boy Scout manual had a few select hand, flag and lantern signals you could use. This was important information to learn. Remember the kids in October Sky prying up abandoned track for scrap metal so they could sell it and buy the bar stock to build rocket engines? Well, say you and your friends are funding your projects by prying up railroad track and you 'accidently' pry up some shiny rails in your eagerness. Wouldn't you want to know what to do when you heard the whistle of an oncoming train?
Knowing how to stop a train is a skill every boy should learn. Today our government is pushing the Wreckonciliation train 'full throttle' while at the same time they're prying up the tracks of our children's future. The results are all to predictable. We need to wave our arms madly and stop the train!
