But the cost is so prohibitive that it has rendered itself impractical and pretty much undoable.Scottiebillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15554361011951413954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558491.post-1143044182832062152006-03-22T08:16:00.000-08:002006-03-22T08:16:00.000-08:00Typical for any new gadget, when the news cameras ...Typical for any new gadget, when the news cameras were rolling, the lights didn't work. Another waste of money by City Hall. Years ago Cottage Grove bought banners to put up all over town - different sets for different seasons. Now they don't have the money to pay employees to go around and put them up. So, there went about $10,000. I was wondering how long the lights in the crosswalk would last Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558491.post-1143040941149584532006-03-22T07:22:00.000-08:002006-03-22T07:22:00.000-08:00you know that we have to have systems in place to ...you know that we have to have systems in place to regulate stupidity.<BR/><BR/>you know that we have to protect the person that's too stupid to know better than the not look both ways across the street especially on a dark rainy night in dark clothing.<BR/><BR/>Actually Tony, you make a good point.I see it all the time when somebody just steps into a busy street and they never look to see this inRobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00265769147425611176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558491.post-1142505954316956392006-03-16T02:45:00.000-08:002006-03-16T02:45:00.000-08:00Robin, please go to www.nonais.org for more info o...Robin, please go to www.nonais.org for more info on this insanity.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558491.post-1142505518352615282006-03-16T02:38:00.000-08:002006-03-16T02:38:00.000-08:00Robin, did you happen to catch Coast to Coast with...Robin, did you happen to catch Coast to Coast with George Norey last night 3/15/06? He had some excellent guests on that were talking about RFID chips and how they want to put them on every farm animal born and make even small farm owners with one or two goats or chickens notify the government when they are born and when they die or are sold. Also they want to track every farm with GPS and track Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13558491.post-1142456601627001182006-03-15T13:03:00.000-08:002006-03-15T13:03:00.000-08:00Robin-this seems like a great idea but it never ce...Robin-this seems like a great idea but it never ceases to amaze me how much everything costs and the governments proclivity to spend like the money is never ending.
