WHAT ASAD WROTE TO THE MTA TODAY. YOU SHOULD TOO!

Dear Members of New York City Transit Board, As a longtime rider and lover of the subway system of New York City, which I believe to be the best in the world, I urge you to reject the proposed ban of photography in the subway. The ban is unenforceable due to increasingly miniscule technology, not to mention the fact that many people now have cameras in their cellular phones. Instead, all the ban will achieve would be to further institute an atmosphere of fear and restriction, which I believe is degrading to our society, our democracy. We are the country and city that celebrates, more than any other, personal and collective freedom, of expression and behavior. The vibrant uniqueness and energy of New York City and its residents are the true reason why the world loves and respects us. Let's be true to that legacy. yours sincerely, Asad Raza Department of English New York University Email the MTA here: http://www.mta.nyc.ny.us/nyct/rules/proposed.htm Read more at 3Quarksdaily.com http://www.3quarksdaily.com/
