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.

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

I don't know. I see the back-sides of horses jockeying for position so I have to conclude there is a race going on here.
Maybe on friday we should all ride horses instead of bikes? Imagine the poop storm, and I'm not talking about horse shit!
a quote from San Francisco CM co-founder, Chris Carlsson in the upcoming documentary, Aftermass: a post Critical Mass Portland"There doesn't need to be a higher purpose. The point is to live well together and celebrate human conviviality."

Someone must have studied at the Joey Goebbels Institute of public relations. If you say a lie often enough maybe, just maybe, it might become truth! Hope springs eternal for that kind of Change & 47% of the people are never going to go for it...
But back to reality, it'll probably take a little more than a lame (and fake) press release. Hoards of Cops & Tazers might not be enough. Perhaps they can enlist the help of the Ohio National Guard? Too bad this wasn't April 1st -It'd be funnier that way.
