How many Washington DC area commuters were delayed because of the Trucker's protest ride? None - according to the news reports I saw. They had enough sense to make their point without blocking traffic. In contrast, the 1996 (or 95?) Janitor's protest made a mess of DC rush hour traffic by blocking some of the bridges leading into the city. That boneheaded tactic cost the Janitor's any sympathy they may have had. As a result of their protest, a bill was introduced to raise the fine for blockading a bridge to $5,000. Bill Clarke Greenbelt, MD Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ Before you buy.
