Big Ben emailed yesterday to say that Japan is soliciting comments from the public on its horrible new parking law. He writes:
I wish I had heard about this earlier, since the deadline is tomorrow. It's not like they went out of their way to tell anybody about it or anything.Indeed. Here's a link with information on how to share your opinion on the law with the powers that be. Today's the deadline, though, so whip out that Japanese dictionary and get cracking.
"On display on an obscure web page" isn't exactly "on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying Beware of the Leopard," but it's close.
I think the actual decisions will come down to how much money the bike manufacturers are willing to throw around, but I can feel good about doing my part anyway.
A user account is required to post comments. If you do not have an account, please feel free to create one. Accounts with obscene or offensive user names will be rejected.
I always have time for a well-articulated opposing viewpoint, thoughtfully and politely expressed in good faith.
However, I have no time for name calling, personal attacks, rudeness, or other types of hostile behavior, whether directed at me or at other commenters.
Therefore, comments I find to be rude, abusive, profane, annoying, or otherwise inappropriate may be deleted. Comments may also be deleted if they are redundant or off-topic.
The maximum comment length is 3,000 characters. Longer comments broken into multiple parts to circumvent this policy will be deleted. If your comment is too long, please edit it down, link to the full text on your own blog, or both.
