Anyone else jump in here and give their two cents?
I fail to see how I've contradicted myself. CM is simply the act of cyclists agreeing to meet at a specific location at a specific time to ride in the streets. That's all it is. A lot of people who ride in the Critical Masses happen to be liberal, anti-war, environmentalists, etc. and they often push their agenda, but just because some group riding in the Critical Mass is riding for a specific cause doesn't mean the CM is political or environmental or whatever. To each person it means something different.
