"It could be the cutbacks to the city’s transportation system, or a general decline in urban civility. Perhaps people are just in a collective bad mood.
What else could explain why New Yorkers — notoriously hardened to the slings and arrows of everyday life here — are spitting on bus drivers?
Of all the assaults that prompted a bus operator to take paid leave in 2009, a third of them, 51 in total, “involved a spat upon,” according to statistics the Metropolitan Transportation Authority released on Monday.
No weapon was involved in these episodes. “Strictly spitting,” said Charles Seaton, a New York City Transit spokesman.
And the encounters, while distressing, appeared to take a surprisingly severe toll: the 51 drivers who went on paid leave after a spitting incident took, on average, 64 days off work — the equivalent of three months with pay. One driver, who was not identified by the authority, spent 191 days on paid leave.
Transit officials, facing a budget shortfall of $400 million, called the numbers troubling. “We have to see what we’re going to do with that,” said Joseph Smith, who oversees bus operations for New York City Transit.
Spitting falls under the category of assault in the drivers’ contract with the authority. And officials at Transport Workers Union Local 100, which represents city bus operators, said the extended absences were justified.
“Being spat upon — having a passenger spit in your face, spit in your mouth, spit in your eye — is a physically and psychologically traumatic experience,” said John Samuelsen, the union’s president. “If transit workers are assaulted, they are going to take off whatever amount of time they are going to take off to recuperate.”
Sensitivities have been heightened since 2008, when Edwin Thomas, a bus driver in Brooklyn, was stabbed to death by a passenger after an argument over the fare.
In response, the authority offered classes to drivers on defusing tense situations. Plastic partitions for drivers have been tested, but a design has not been set.
Yet spitting assaults have grown. More than 80 drivers reported being spat upon in the last year, the authority said.
Enforcement may be an issue. Almost no arrests have been reported for spitting on a driver, said Mr. Smith, who noted that a police officer “must witness the spat upon to give a summons.”
London and other cities have found a novel solution: collecting the DNA of the offending spitters.
Bus drivers interviewed Monday said they frequently heard about episodes involving spit.
Passengers “get angry at the MetroCard not working, they get very irate over the schedules and having to wait a certain period and the bus being late,” said Richard Davis, a union official in Manhattan.
“A lot of people are worried about diseases, and they go to the hospital to get checked,” Mr. Davis said, referring to the drivers.
Raul Morales, 52, has been driving city buses for five years, but his first encounter with spit came early.
“A guy wanted to get on the bus; I told him the fare; he didn’t want to pay it,” Mr. Morales said. “So, he spat at me.”
The spittle landed on his shirt and glasses. He stopped at a nearby McDonald’s to clean himself off, then finished his shift. “I just kept on going.” (An ice slushie was once thrown at him for the same reason.)
Mr. Morales said it did not occur to him to take an extended absence to recover. “Everybody has their own tolerance to these things,” he said.
Alan E. Pisarski, the author of “Commuting in America,” calls it “aisle rage”: a resentment toward declining mass transit. “It could be that the combination of declining service and increasing costs is a tough burden for people to accept,” Mr. Pisarski said.
Come June in New York City, that burden will grow. Dozens of local and express bus lines will be eliminated, taking the brunt of an austere slate of service cuts by the authority. (Fewer riders on the subway will be affected.)
Gene Russianoff, staff lawyer for the Straphangers’ Campaign ****, the riders’ group, said the cuts could make riders less patient. “On a train,” Mr. Russianoff said, “you really can’t get at the train operator in most cases. If you’re late, or they missed your stop, you’re pretty mad. On the bus, the driver is the flashpoint.”
Nancy Shevell, the chairwoman of the authority’s bus committee, said she did not envy those spat upon. But she wondered whether three months’ time off was excessive.
“You have to wonder if you can go home and shower off, take a nap, take off the rest of the day and maybe the next day,” she said. “When it gets strung out for months, you start to wonder.”"
Re: Re: To this day, John Fogerty does not own any rights to "Run Through The Jungle.

there is a story in the Babylonian Talmud, about the test they gave to local younger Rabbis then so they could be judges on the Senior Rabbinic courts.
I paraphrase here:
The test starts with being asked to explain why a mouse is kosher.
But a mouse it not Kosher.
The senior Rabbis insist , and demands a list of of 100 reasons why a mouse is kosher from the aspiring young Rabbi.
He Toils for days , combs through tomes of Jewish law. Finds his 100 reasons , why a mouse IS KOSHER.
The young Rabbi presents his 100 reasons on why a mouse is kosher to the Senior Rabbis testing him.
They read the list they . They tell him he did a great job.
The Young Rabbi is bewidlered ,, tierd and cranky from day of little sleep ,, he yells at the senior Rabbis ,, " But a MOUSE IS NOT KOSHER !!!!"
The senior Rabbis repsond: EXACTLY.
You can give me 100 reason why a mouse is not kosher , all well researched for Jewish Law.
But the Answer is a Mouse IS NOT Kosher.
You passed the test you are now a young Senior Rabbi.
==================
Why Am i writing this ,, whell if you have not figured out already ,,
You can give me 1000 reasons and circumstance on why PIRACY of copyrRighted works--- from the micro to macro level ---is fine , nice , legal and moral , in any one unique place and circumstance.
But the Answer is : Piracy is Illegal.

I you would not mind it ,IF it was YOUR livelihood being ripped off , use common sense. Artists tend to be control freaks about their art. Copyright endorses that natural right .
Just as Lovers are too sometimes are control freaks , of honor and not $$ .
"Why you looking at my Girl bub!?!",,......, punch.

Also it is mostly not about $$$

Re: Re: Re: But you just said that it's okay for you to give away the Beatles' music, because you're not charging for it. So why can't I do that with your copyrighted material?
"just said that it's okay for you to give away the Beatles' music, because you're not charging for it. So why can't I do that with your copyrighted material?"
Remember ,, I admit , technically it is illegal,, but artist -to artist -(- esp,, but with civilians too , also -)-musicians have choice on how to enforce their rights..
Right now being there is no $$ being made by me ,, it ain't even worth a lawyers phone call, as legal fees will dwarf , what is recoverable. This is again part of musician culture..
If i make $$ ,, lawyers will flock in
,, but , I will be VERY HAPPY too.
So will Paul and the gang-- again I love you guys ,,
that why I made the song
I made the song because I LOVE , the boys , John, Paul, George , and Richard Starkey. ( George is my fav, and main man, may G-d always rest his wonderful soul.)
So , no as Paul would say .... ( do I have to say it ??) ,, "Can't Buy Me love".
Re: Re: But you just said that it's okay for you to give away the Beatles' music, because you're not charging for it. So why can't I do that with your copyrighted material?
". So why can't I do that with your copyrighted material?"
With permission you can.
Yes I posted my Beatles cover w/o permission , as an artist , paying homage to the Boys -- and to show my musical chops too.
But Paul has yet to contact me. I wish he would. REALLY.
BTW ,, this is a pretty standard poor musician trick ,, make a good cover ,, get the original artist to notice. More than likey if Paul likes it ,, he will help back it w/ his own $$, that is musician culture.
Then if I I make big $$ ,, Paul gets his cut , or M.J.'s kids , or whoever.
HOWEVER:
If non-musician Joe Tobacco ,, gives out free copies of Abbey Road , while standing in front of a Wal-mat ,, for whatever strange anarchist reason he is trying to prove ,,
.., Ringo can beat Joe Tobacco with his drumsticks , in a legal effort detain a criminal till the police come
and put Mr. Tobacco before a judge,
, who will tell J.T. , that it is not right to give out copies Abbey Road w/o asking the Beatles AND the current owner of the song publishing rights --- and Joe Tobacco should stop it and go home--- OR go to jail for a couple of days.
Joe being homeless , opts for Jail.
( c.f an "Oh Henry" story whose name I forgot )
To this day, John Fogerty does not own any rights to "Run Through The Jungle.
Wrong. that was the core point . Other artists got to pay to cover RTJ to the current owner of the publishing rights , but John does not , because he wrote it !!!! Even if he still does not own the legal publishing rights NOW.
This is why I see copyright coming out of Natural Law , as artist ownership of created works , EVEN trumps whoever may legally currently own the publishing rights.
For his own use and personal profit ,, the artist cannot give up rights.
AND yes copyRIGHTs are SOLD ,, for $$$ . Just like stock and bonds, that are not the biz itself.

When Passengers Spit, Bus Drivers Take Months Off
By MICHAEL M. GRYNBAUM

If non-musician Joe Tobacco ,, gives out free copies of Abbey Road , while standing in front of a Wal-mat ,, for whatever strange anarchist reason he is trying to prove ,,
.., Ringo can beat Joe Tobacco with his drumsticks , in a legal effort detain a criminal till the police come
and put Mr. Tobacco before a judge,
, who will tell J.T. , that it is not right to give out copies Abbey Road w/o asking the Beatles AND the current owner of the song publishing rights --- and Joe Tobacco should stop it and go home--- OR go to jail for a couple of days.
Joe being homeless , opts for Jail.

To this day, John Fogerty does not own any rights to "Run Through The Jungle.
This is why I see copyright coming out of Natural Law , as artist ownership of created works , EVEN trumps whoever may legally currently own the publishing rights.
For his own use and personal profit ,, the artist cannot give up rights.
AND yes copyRIGHTs are SOLD ,, for $$$ . Just like stock and bonds, that are not the biz itself.
That was the dispute , and it was ruled in J.F.
