Because to the New York Times only the Northeast exists. San Francisco Bay Area BART is having troubles- but I doubt we will be seeing federal dollars routed our way. But by all means lets all worry about DC and NY.

I think lisper is (rightly) criticizing the repetition of the same code being multiple places due to the includes (not the also irritating need to write the includes multiple places). The problem does go from bad to worse in C and C++ when
