Damn granola Topanga Canyon crowd came down from their tree houses in the hills, put on their Birkenstocks and Tie-Dyes, loaded up on soy chai lattes, and blocked PCH two evenings in a row.

Yesterday it took me a friggen HOUR to go 2 miles on the way home. Same shit today; not quite as bad but it took me 1.5 hours to go 25 miles where it's normally 45-60mph all the way.

I'm trying to figure out who I can write a nasty letter to and make sure they all got arrested and/or beaten and/or run-over.

They were actually gone by the time I got to their spot, otherwise I might have stains on my bumper now.

Sorry for the rant. After working all day this is crap I REALLY do not need and won't tolerate on public roads and lands that I pay a shitload of taxes to keep up...

oh man, that's when you get an old pickup truck and pretend the brakes went out. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

what are people like this in the world trying to prove? what I can never figure out about people like that is this...

there are countless places in the world where they can live in total peace. no SUV's, no smog, no crime, no environmental problems. YET, they insist on living in the absolute center of the very issues they whine about.

what a bunch of losers.

the whole point is that IT IS SUPPOSED TO HURT.
otherwise no one would even notice. create unconvinience for the everyday, go to work, pay my taxes on time, do i smell good tonight, freaking robots like ..., well, you know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

now about this thing with YOUR taxes paying for road maintenance, i dunno where you live (supposedly CA), but i don't think ANY of your taxes goes into road maintenance. not here in CA anyways. heck, i've been to 3rd world countries, and their dirty roads had less pot-holes than any CA highway ...

Actually they are just finishing repaving the canyon road I drive to/from work every day. Part of the $7,000 a year in property taxes I pay most definitely goes towards road work...the LA County Dept of Transportation probably has a bigger budget than some small nations. The streets where I live are mostly in great shape; then again, a lot of them are only 20-30 years old at the most.

If these people think they are making a positive difference in the world by fucking up the evening plans of thousands of people, they are absolutely WRONG. All they are doing is pissing people off and hurting whatever cause they are trying to promote.

They should get INVOLVED in politics or diplomacy or whatever, and actually DO something instead of standing around bitching and waving banners at people trying to get home to see their families.

here here campbell!!!!!

but your logic for the whiners to get involved in in the political process is flawed. you see, they can't actually USE the system they are complaining about as that would make them part of the problem. the circular logic of the far left is quite interesting. it makes one wonder whether they actually want change or simply want to bitch a lot.

my brother has an old f250 but i think he is using it on the protesters in boulder co right now!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

According to the radio they were anti-war protesters.

That is irrelevant to me - whether I agree with their bitches or not, I do not believe in disruptive, "negative" gatherings like that, deliberately planned to f* with other people. If they want to get together peacefully in somebody's back yard and hold hands while singing Kum-By-Ya, then more power to 'em.

Hey Sean -- yup, it's only 48F outside right now but it's heading up to about 70F today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

I love living in the country! The last traffic jam we had here was last summer, when the neighbor’s cows got loose. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

If I need reminding of how much I hate the city, I just drive to Toronto during rush hour. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/fighting19.gif)

We have a stretch of highway called the ‘Don Valley Parkway’, everyone calls it the ‘Don Valley Parking Lot’. Protesters love to hit it, a 10min. protest will kill traffic for the whole day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)

There's a good cartoon in the L.A. Times today that kind of addresses both sides of this. It shows a protester about to get lynched by Hussein:

Protester: But you don't understand, I'm protesting against the war on Iraq.

Hussein: No, you don't understand, we don't allow any protests. What do you think this is America? :gilloutine:

Except for a couple years in Navy, I lived my entire life inside the beltway around DC. I may have seen more protests in a year or two than some have seen in a lifetime. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
From the anti-war in the 60's, gays, AID's, Million Man, you name it and its been here.
The only one that really pissed me off was a couple years ago protesting the IMF and World Bank, the same group that raised hell in Seattle, the anarchists. They are truly evil people promoting the complete absence of government, disorder, and lawlessness. There should only be one way to deal with them. :gilloutine:
I must admit that it tickles me to hear you guys that live in the most liberal part of the US pissin' and moanin' because the protesters are infringing of your rights. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

well, at least they (the protesters) have the balls to go out and do SOMETHING
instead of just sitting on their sorry ass watching the government piss away
several hundred BILLIONS of our tax money on a war that isn't going to help anybody.

Balls? This requires a bit of definition.

Balls is steping off a landing craft at Omaha Beach.
Balls is popping up and shooting at these guys coming ashore after being shelled by a fucking battleship.
Balls is having the fortitude to put yourself in the position to do things like this, knowing that the only way out is:

To see it thru.

Get killed or maimed.

Balls is risking the most precious thing we have for the good of another.

I know people that have done this sort of thing.
None of them (except for a head case or 2) needed to prove their manhood by bar fighting or bungy jumping.

In my experience, committment to a cause thins out when mortal danger is involved (And the danger is recognized. Any fool can blunder into shit.). Those that "see it thru" have balls.

Maybe my stardards are too high.

My father-in-law took most of last year off work and away from the family to go run for US Senate as an Independent, against the "establishment". He was not able to pump much money into the campaign so had extremely minimal chances, but most of what was spent came right out of his own bank account, not from PAC and lobbyist money. His wife also took a year off work, unpaid, to support the effort. He gave speeches, radio and TV interviews in different towns all over the state to various audiences. In order to get on the ballot (which he did) they had to drum up 5,000 individual signatures, and validate them as legitimate registered voters, IIRC. Unfortunately the status-quo prevailed and the incumbant is still in office there.

Now THAT is what I call getting involved instead of just bitching and moaning.

I can't say I have done anything like that, yet, but when my family and business obligations allow, I will be glad to pitch in and help try to improve our country in some meaningful way.

Atleast in this country you can still protest, have you read about in Venezuala that 2 of the protest leaders were killed/arrested by the Secret Police?
I would rather have the right to protest, to air my view without jail time or worse. That's what my father fought for in WW2 and my Grandfather in WW1.
I don't like protesters blocking freeways and roads thats plain stupid and pisses everyone off without making their point.
