	Ah, but you see, Roger, the problem is *not* that people don't
respect each other any more.  The problem is that there are *no more 
people on the street.*  All we have are these f!$%ing cars all over the
place.  And that just might be what Critical Mass is all about.

	BTW, we (meaning the Green Party of San Jose) held a bicycle rally
last year down in San Jose.  Admittedly, it was smaller than Critical Mass
(about 20 riders), so it was easy to organize.  But we did get permits
and all that.  It's not that expensive if an event is a political rally.
Your First Amendment rights would be infringed if it did cost a lot. If the
Critical Massers aren't doing this, perhaps I can offer some advice.
