If the system won’t change then become the system

INCHANGING THE SYSTEM-

Anyone who has actually read  most of these posts understands that they contain  encouragement for inclusion.  However, up to now this  blog has neglected something that cannot be neglected at this point

It is readily apparent that  the current “system” by which cars are developed, laws about them are constructed, and transportation options emerge, are not  making many visible  strides toward direct participant participation when it comes to people with disabilities.  In other words, the system isn’t changing and  probably will not.  

Well  so be it.  That leaves an avenue that hasn’t been highlighted  much—become the system!  

People with disabilities  can have a great deal. Of influence over what happens in the future of transit but it  may take some back door methods.  If you have a son or daughter encourage them to study robotics.  If you are still training  for work look at the self-driving  training available and  get.involved in it at the ground level.  Learn some things about urban planning or rural. Development.  Learn a little. About  coding (writing the instructions for  the machines involved).  In short Change the systems by becoming the system.  
Offer to write  news stories or editorials or send in letters to the editor often enough  that the. Local. Press knows there’s a voice out there shouting.  Send an e-mail to. Your local debate team director asking them to debate on the  topic of self-driving.  
These are ways to  change the system by becoming the system—


Since. This blog has not focused a great deal of attention on these matters the next five entries will be focused  in just that area.  
Much. Like that often  quoted mantra— be the change you want to see...well in this case become s the system you wish to influence.  There are many dooors to open and we can’t wait for others to open them.
