Critical Mass Discussion
After slamming Critical Mass, I'm thinking of doing the one in September so I can see what it's like to participate. I'm trying to keep an open mind, but I can't reconcile all of the inconvenience and disruption caused by CM with its lack of meaning. I appreciate civil disobedience, but only if it's to work toward some goal, which CM doesn't seem to have.
Can you help me understand CM better to help me decide if I should participate? I'm not trolling or being a devil's advocate - and I understand if no one wants to beat this dead horse yet again.

It sounds like David crZven would love to just round up all those crazy Massers and throw then into camps like the Nazi's did...

Okay. Hitler was a Nazi.
Cameron Puetz said:To the OP, I would say go try it. While I'm personally not a huge fan of CCM, it's worth going and experiencing it first hand. There really isn't much else like it, and it's hard to describe what it's like. It really is a you had to be there sort of thing. Also what do you have to lose? If you get there and don't like it, you can leave at any time.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Should we keep an eye out for a red eye article or letter to the editor soon? ;P

Expect the upcoming Red Eye article to sensationalize everything and to interview clueless bystanders.

The Tribune should transfer John Kass to the Red Eye newsroom. That should result in an increase in their journalistic integrity.
Cameron Puetz said:They'll just pull one out of their archives and rerun it. That's the advantage of running articles that don't have any facts to get out dated.

I've seen sunday motorcycle rides that block traffic for 10 minutes. They "cork" intersections in much the same way ccm does and drivers don't say peep. I find it hard to believe that if ccm was on a weekend day, it would be better received. To them, our "toys" don't belong on the road.

Those horses have been dead for months. I don't think they'll be racing any time soon.
