Subject: Re: [UC] Re: Parking Spaces @ 43rd & Baltimore
The parklet is the most retarded thing I've ever seen. There is a
F***** park right across the street.
This is not in direct response to any of the responses below, just
a general sentiment.
What's next? Wheelchair lanes in-between the trolley tracks on
Baltimore?
How much did they waste on that piece of crap?

explained that my feelings were not as emotional as yours and I wrote
of MY feelings on a very superficial level. I have no idea what the
so called "peace activists" had done to you to provoke such hard
feelings nor do I see where I have said anything that expressed
concern for my life due to flash mobs, but give me full credit for the
way you feel about what I personally said. I have not ridiculed you
or your followers. Actually, I believe we need people like you to
keep the rest of us thinking.
Thank you for that Mohel.
