  • Is Ozzy doing the right thing?

    The "Mosquito" noisemaker is removed from near my neighborhood due to NYRA activities...

    Dave Moss, director of development and operations at the National Youth Rights Association, said that at 28, he expected to be too old to hear anything when he stopped at the Gallery Place station on his way to a nearby synagogue. The device, according to its distributor, Moving Sound Technologies, emits a tone set at 17.5 kilohertz, the high end of the hearing range for 13- to 25-year-olds.

    But there he was at 28 and there the sound was, in his ears: a headache-inducing tone that has made some teenagers, at least those who could hear it, move right along.

    "It was a very high-pitched, dull but annoying series of beeps," Moss said. "I can see how it works. I would not have wanted to be there for a long period of time."

    Moss and several other people from the youth organization - whose motto is "Live Free, Start Young" - then filed complaints with the city.

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891

        Well, Dan, what do you think? Is Ozzy doing the right thing?

          I wish to protest at Ozzy's actions!

          He is targeting a Welsh invention - how dare he put our jobs at risk!?
          Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

            "Live Free, Start Young"

            Isn't this also NAMBLA's slogan?

                  One more reason to hate Wales.

                            You made the morning news on the radio yesterday morning, Ozzy. I chuckled.

                            My gut reaction to the device is that it seems icky to design something specifically to drive away children as if they were vermin. So I guess I'm with you.

                              You clearly don't deal with them on a regular basis.
