Check out all the disable individuals getting off of the bus. Poor people, they all have some kind of a problem and they all need a noise signal to orientate themselves. (Sorry about the cynicism, but I can not help!) I have been acoustically harassed for 7 consecutive Years.
So our Mayor wants to be the environmental Mayor? Ok! Let us see if he qualifies:
1. Our Public Transportation is the most acoustic polluted form of transport in the Bay Area and probably in the USA.
2. Our Public Traffic is brutal, uneducated and air pollution is all time high.
3. Noise is everywhere, anyone can harass anyone without further questions with beep signals, car alarms, car alarms special effects remote control door locks.
4. There are acoustic Terrorists in the Government and in the Public challenging Neighborhoods airspace everywhere.
5. Harley's and private cars with modified mufflers are free to run and speed in town at anytime; (Especially on weekends); terrorizing the whole population.
6. Every Weekend the "show down starts," quite a spectacle of combined social ignorance.
7. Many have the misconception that because we are in the City, everything goes. Just be quiet and enjoy the chaos and the crime ruling our lives until 4:00 AM!
Mr. Mayor, Looks like your qualifications are up to the task isn't?
Ps: These signals have the power to reach 150-250 feet around the perimeter invading most buildings rooms on its path. Programmed acoustic torture at its best.Check out all the disable individuals getting off of the bus. Poor people, they all... more
Look at the bird, the girls, the guys, the politicians, the something else going on overseas, look, look and forget about your daily life, economy, education, health care, inflation, food manipulation, the polluters, the bandits robbing your precious time and income, the lack of jobs, forget what this part of the public and government are doing to screw you up every single day and slave you. look at the bird baby!!!
Have you ever wonder why this Country, Locally and Nationally gets away with murder daily after day, monthly after month, yearly after year and by the time you wake up, it is too late?
Well wonder no more! This posting section is part of a Project I developed called simultaneously "Pick and Choose," or "Pick, Choose and Lose."
I do not know about you but I am sick and tired to turn on the TV and after haven watched the News, seen the same brain dead format, very little attention for Local and important issues to the point of acting on a dangerous deadly denial mode. That is our Corporate and Secular Network Media. Being a media broadcaster, I pray everyday so the Spirit of GOD will give me guidance to spot the most social and humane issues and air it before the spoofery, bullies and brain dead entertainment comes along to fool you.
What about you?
Still looking and giving more importance to what is killing you?

Now hear this
By AMIE STEFFEN, Courier Staff Writer
WATERLOO --- It's one rap song you won't be bumping out of your speakers,
because the lyrics implore you not to.
"Turn it to the Left," an educational rap penned and performed by musician
Benjamin Jackson, details the problems of kids today. But they're definitely not your typical hip-hop problems.
"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kLSYq5kau_w"
"It ain't no fun, man, it ain't no fun / When you're 20 years old, but your
ears are 81," Jackson rapped during a performance at the AudiologyNOW!
conference last April in Denver, Colo., the likes of which can be heard on
YouTube. "Imagine what it's like to be hearing this track / Except the words are all muffled and the beat is whack."
That's right --- "Turn it to the Left" is about turning the volume down on
your music player, and the problems that result if you don't. Produced for
the American Academy of Audiology, the rap talks about noise-induced hearing loss and is aimed at children and teens.
Normally only problematic for adults, noise-induced hearing loss, or NIHL,
now affects an estimated 5 million children across the country, according to the AAA.
Dr. Robyn Ritchey, a doctor of audiology who contracts with Covenant Medical Center, said she hadn't heard of many cases of children suffering from NIHL yet. However, "we see that more and more now, whether it be the iPods, cars with stereo systems, even some of the farm equipment now is very loud," Ritchey said.
The worst kind of headphones with regards to music players are known as "ear buds," which sit inside the ear and send music directly down the ear canal, according to Ritchey.
"It's more like sitting in the front row of a rock concert, or a jet engine; it's very damaging," she said.
Dr. Joseph Hart, an ear, nose and throat specialist with Allen Hospital in
Waterloo, recently diagnosed a 14-year-old with noise-induced hearing loss,
caused by both the use of an iPod as well as working in a garage.
"So that's what you're battling with kids --- they think they're
indestructible," Hart said. "And it's not always right away. It can be years later."
Since there are currently no surgical or medical procedures to treat NIHL,
protecting your ears becomes an important consideration.
"It's irreversible --- you can't get (your hearing) back," Ritchey said.

The amount of noise in every day life is increasing in America, and medical studies-and police reports-are showing that it can take away our sleep, make us angry and violent, and stop children from learning. One man takes up the anti-noise cause.
_____
Doctor Hagler's frustration set him thinking about the impact of excessive noise on the world around him.
"Now we know secondhand noise is as bad for us as secondhand smoke."
Excessive noise can adversely affect happiness and productivity even if listeners don't end up in mental hospitals. Arline Bronzaft, a professor emeritus of psychology at Lehman College, helps field 350,000 noise-related complaints per year as chair of the noise committee of New York City's Council on the Environment.
"Having to put up with boom cars and loud mufflers every day can make you a little crazy," Ron Czapala says. "There's an increasing number of people becoming violent as a result of excessive noise."
Is the door knob too high for you to reach? That is not your imagination playing tricks on you, probably it is!
Since 2001, The San Francisco MTA-Muni introduced the New fleet of Electric Buses on Union Street, San Francisco, California. Bus routes number 45 and 41. These buses in addition of being mechanically and technologically loud than the previous version, emits 3 types of offensive and intrusive noise signals trespassing inhabitants property lines. These signals are:
1. Beep signals that goes beyond property lines.
2. Voice signals that goes beyond property lines.
3. Sharp shooting whistles signals that goes beyond property lines.
-It is a mechanically acoustic cruel, mean and invasive system promoted by wrongful transportation lobbyists that transformed the interior of our living spaces in a bus stop, says many of San Franciscan's inhabitants, not releasing their names because of fear of retaliation.
-It seems that the City got out from one pollution mistake to fall into another one. You will going to hear and see attempts of lobbying and justification for this acoustic invasion, but none of them justify this unethical behavior or unlawful manners for acoustic pollution and trespassing of inhabitants property lines.
One of their justification is that the system is for orienting the blind and partially deaf in the City consequently assuming that everyone in the City is elderly, blind, partially blind or partially deaf.
- Nothing can justify acoustic trespassing even in the assumption that one possesses a physical disability, says an acoustic activist by the nickname "stopnoise." In the same token I might need money but I am not going to trespass and rob a bank to get it. I am also not going to brake into people house and steal their possessions and harm them physically in the process just because I am in need of it. Acoustic trespassing is not different from any other types and forms of trespassing in our society. Trespass is trespass no matter how you want to wrongfully justify it.
As Doctor Hagler, author of an acoustic publication in the Medical Journal, answering to a comment from a less acoustic concerned individual.
Dear Mr. Diaz:
I fear you have missed the point.
I am a retired physician with an interest in the public health effects of
noise pollution. Those of us in Noise Free America and other groups are not
opposed to people's choices in music. We are not concerned with rap or hip hop vs Vivaldi. We are opposed to the ceaseless and unwanted noise that washes over us at times, places and at volumes over which we have no control. We are opposed to noise over which others seem not to exercise control, restraint, or, consideration. We are opposed to noise because it is unhealthy. And this is not something to be sneezed at or trivialized.
There is now abundant (and continually growing) evidence that noise is not
merely an annoyance. It is not something that even grouchy old men like you
don't need to tolerate. Among its many adverse effects, noise damages
hearing, disturbs communication, disrupts sleep, impairs cardiovascular function, interferes with teaching and learning, reduces productivity, harms relationships, provokes unwanted behaviors, and increases accidents. It is a major source of recurring and often unrecognized stress, which, itself, degrades the quality of life and adversely affects health.
Pollution is pollution, irrespective of the source or the way it enters the
body. The ear is as important a portal for pollution as the lung, stomach,
or eye. It is the role of government to protect citizens from all forms of
pollution, including noise pollution. Polluters should be the target of swift, consistent, and meaningful penalties. From my perspective, a $200.00 fine and points on one's license are lenient.
