It's not just liberals -- and I say that as the founder and sole member of the "I make up my own mind on individual issues" party. Sure, the left can be alarmist about a few things, but the denial on the right is just as bad. I don't have a problem with activists per se either, but then, a real activist wouldn't be sitting on a computer 12 hours a day trawling through google to find news reports about death either. There are actually some people in cycling advocacy for whom I have a huge amount of respect. They're the ones who are out there putting their money where their mouth is, and working toward realistic solutions to problems. The A & S forum is far from it.
