1. Intentionally blocking a freeway is a piss poor way to get other Californians on your side. mt

2. I'm so sorry, but...

... These are not good people.

3. I am tired of seeing the term "pro-Palestinian"

You can be anti war and not pro-palestinian. I certainly WOULD NOT want to live under a Palestinian regime.

5. Yeah, it's easy to be anti-war when it was

someone else's country that was invaded and its citizens killed, raped, defiled and abducted.And it’s real easy when you actually identify with the killers and rapists

4. Blocking traffic is pretty much the least intelligent form of protest.

First, it's almost guaranteed to backfire. It doesn't generate sympathy - in fact, it does the opposite - and it doesn't target the people who can actually affect change.

Second, it can cause real harm. If traffic is blocked and law enforcement isn't notified, emergency vehicles can't be re-routed. I, for one, don't want to live under the kind of idealogical purity that accepts the occasional death because an ambulance couldn't get through.

I don't care what the cause is. Blocking traffic is stupid.

6. Amen

No one has the right or need to block traffic. Period. Your first amendment rights *END* when you are preventing people from getting to their job or a hospital.
