David, that's an asinine interpretation of what I said. Congratulations--that's even dumber than the people who point out that METRO moves only a small proportion of the daily trips in the area for a large price tag and think we should reduce support for public transit. And I thought *that* was a dumb transportation idea.

But given that you'd already created a strawman about a supposed suggestion that you should put yourself in danger for someone's car-based convenience--and then took the chance to call that person a prick in response to something they didn't say, I suppose I shouldn't have been surprised that you'd opt to draw an inference that cannot possibly be supported by what I said.

Look, most of us are just trying to get to where we need to be, whether by foot, bike, transit, or car. When we can do things to make that easier for others, as well as for ourselves, why not do so?

(Finally, you're correct--taking the lane is nothing like protesting at military funerals. One is a foundational, first amendment freedom, no matter how repulsive you or I might find it, and the other just isn't, no matter how many times you say it is.)
