They are ridiculous. Here in Chicago, they ran around the bike show (let's not forget they paid for a booth to be there) passing out flyers in protest of Subaru because Subaru had their car there as you walk in. Now, since the original sponsors abandoned the bike show, and we almost lost our bike show here in Chicago, Subaru stepped in and decided to sponsor the show. So if they want to put their car there when you first walk in, so what? Besides, if they hadn't of come in with the money, there wouldn't be a bike show for them to protest at. I pointed this out to the girl, who floated away with a rather vacant look after a futile attempt to argue with me.

They also have been advocating that the city depave Lake Shore Drive. When I heard that, I knew these people were nuts.

All I can think is that these people are adults who need real jobs and real lives- advocating civil disobedience to promote your agenda is not the way to go about getting your point across. You'll just p!ss off the people you're trying to make the point to. One day, these people will really grow up and realize that there are better ways of going about getting support for your cause- riling people up is not the way. Luckily, we all here know that.
