A Critical Mass of Idiots
Transportation:
I had the unfortunate circumstance of driving (riding) down Nicollet Avenue on Friday just as Critical Mass was biking by on Franklin.
Newsflash bike enthusiasts - there’s a much better way to get your point across!
If you expect people in cars to watch out for you and obey the traffic laws (which they should), you have to obey them as well! You don’t get “special” rules. Stop at red lights. Jerks.
Misinformation:
To the woman at lunch today who said she’ll “Never vote for any of them democrats in this election” because of what John Kerry said the other day?
“I can’t overstress the importance of a great education. Do you know where you end up if you don’t study, if you aren’t smart, if you’re intellectually lazy? You end up getting us stuck in a war in Iraq.”
Grow up. He was supposed to say the word “us,” apparently - referring to Bush getting “us” stuck in Iraq. Kerry is one Democrat, not the representative for all democrats - and he’s not running in this (local) election. I abhor that ignorant mindset and all or nothing mentality. Genius, I tell you what.
Animation:
Regarding Fur - I saw it at The Walker last Friday and was not impressed, especially with Robert Downey Jr. He could have done so much more with that character. But he didn’t, and this movie is the most fictional account of fauxness that ever existed in fake land.

critical mass bikers won’t stop at a red light if it will break up the mass. it can be a pain in the ass if you’re in a car, but it’s safer for the bikers if everyone stays together.
