You are the Leader of CRITICAL ASS in NYC,

and YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

SO YOU TRY TO LIE YOUR WAY OUT OF IT.

YOU support running Stop signs, and Red lights.

Dunno 'bout the USA or in NYC, but from my experience, if you're
commuting in major cities & stop at every stop sign & red light, you
might as well walk or drive a car.

Sure a few riders get caught out crossing against the lights, but the
strike rate of being taken out following the rules & riding in city
traffic is pretty high anyway.

After a while it all comes down to natural selection & those who get
away with it will get to ride another day.
Best to stay sharp & watch yourself, because no one else is watching
out for you.

=v= I presume you mean Critical Mass, unless you're referring
to the nude rides. And yes, I am a leader, but only because
everyone who participates is a leader. Yippie!

and YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!


=v= Who do you think you are, Aaron Sorkin? I ask only because
you hide behind anonymous email whereas I'm using my real name,
a working email address, and have never attempted to hide the
fact that I support and participate in Critical Mass.

I don't think anybody who read that took it seriously.
But he does have a point - I am thinking of driving my car
through red lights and stop signs. Boy am I going to show them a thing
or two.



Near my old residence, there was a ridiculously-place stop-sign at the
"straight" of a 3-way alley-into-one-way intersection. I made it a point
to gun my way through that sonuvabitch at fifty at least several times a
week.
