Since the U.S. preference for a suburban Drive Everywhere lifestyle is the main reason we're in
Iraq, how about moving the protests to some more appropriate place like Livermore and sticking them

How in the hell is blocking traffic and irritating people - who may actually agree with you - going
to bring an end to this war any sooner? What a stupid idea.

Here's to hoping you and the other lameasses that are giving cyclists a bad name are arrested, like
you deserve to be.
You and your ilk are truly pathetic.

=v= I think this is a good idea. Feel free to organize your own affinity group and make it happen.
Blue-skying on Usenet only goes so far; what counts is action. <_Jym_
