The Olde Trolley
Society does "shoot itself in the foot"....Years ago it decided
that a metal conveyance run by electricity was no longer
needed....In fact it added to the congestion, caused by the
gas powered vehicles, in the streets of many cities......
"Get rid of these annoyances, make room for modernization"....
And so they did.....
Here we are years later complaining about pollution, SUVs,
the price of gas and global warming......Now where is that
conveyance which moved people by non-polluting electric
power?
Maybe they should bring them back.....And run the embedded
tracks in the right lane, which will also alleviate double
parking.......The trolleys of olde even went into the suburbs
then.....They would solve some modern problems....Pumps
