Bravo, Del! Jeannie -----Original Message----- From: owner-pianotech@ptg.org [mailto:owner-pianotech@ptg.org]On Behalf Of Delwin D Fandrich Sent: Friday, March 10, 2000 10:41 AM To: pianotech@ptg.org Subject: Re: Response to David I., electric cars, way off topic... Michael, et al, There are sensor/computer controlled signal lights just as you describe. They are quite expensive, however. Your solution, of course, is to begin attending your city council meetings and raising these questions. Without that, no amount of complaining to the pianotech list will make any difference whatsoever. The same, incidentally, applies to the wholesale removal of music programs from our schools. Unless we personally are prepared to invest the time in the democracy we claim to desire, we have no right to complain when those who do get their way. Democracy is not voting every couple of years. Nor is it publicly complaining about it. It is getting involved continuously in those issues that are important to us. You want smart signal lights? Go to the meetings and fuss about them until you get them. You will get them if you keep at it long enough and work hard enough to garner the support you need. You want good music back in your local schools? Ditto. Regards, Del
