Funny you should mention this. For just as I was driving home from church I noted a big convoy of some sort of ladder type cable trucks alongside the road. These guys were putting up MORE power poles, iron things next to the existing wooden ones. I don’t know whether the wooden poles were to be replaced by the metal ones or if the metal poles were put up in addition to the wooden poles. One can never have too many wires and poles alongside the road.
So I took a look down the road and suddenly I realized just how damn ugly all those poles were, big things with many arms, wires hanging everywhere, now the metal poles, alonside the highway for miles.
I even got to wondering why they don’t bury all those wires. My house has NO wires at all, neither cable, electrical phone or otherwise, hanging from it and it really looks nice. All the wires into our community are buried so I know it’s possible.
Now I read your suggestion and ...well it is a good idea but it’s never about common sense, the greater good or any other such nonsense is it?
If that was announced tomorrow I wouldn't be a bit surprised.
Another thing I would like passed is for non-profits to be required to list all of their donors, just like the political parties do.
Wouldn't you like to know how much anti-drilling propaganda concerning ANWR and off-shore was funded by the Saudis? I sure would.
And I would like to know how many non-profits get money from GE, from big shot democrats like Feinstein, etc. I want to know how many industries use the non-profit agitation to put a spike in their competitors.
Alas, I don't think this would happen, either, but I sure do think it's worth brining up from time to time.
