"I don't know, do we really need any regulations other than 'If you see another train on the track, don't crash into it?'"

Old Man

"I support it. I would love to hear a recording of President Obama saying 'Stand clear of the closing doors' in his ringing orator's voice."

Old Woman

'I've haven't seen such a clear violation of the 10th Amendment in days!"
