[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

I have been watching this discussion of the audible lights for a bit 
now and ...

     Technology is not the problem, or the solution.  If an audible 
light is there it gives the blind person the same information the 
sighted person has--no more no less.  If the blind guy doesn't then 
use that information correctly then he may get hit in the intersection-
-but its not the lights fault now is it?  I like those lights, but 
find them unneccisary (god I can't spell) at times.  I was a proofreader 
and still can't spell! ha ha ha.

     Anyway, remembering that technology is never the problem and 
never the solution then we'll al get a much colmer outlook on subjects 
like these--maybe?
