It is the nature of man that if we can avoid coming to grips with a problem, no matter how grave, because it is hidden, we will. So let’s keep our problems right in front of our noses – as a constant reminder that we better do something about them.   BTW, I am a bit surprised that my proposal for annual open citizen mini-surveys of transport priorities in their cities has occasioned such a deafening silence. Hmm. And I thought it was/is a real great and useful idea. Hmm.    </DIV></BODY> ............................................................................................................................................................................................
