Now all you have to do is get on the highway at peak hour, after that you and every one of your friends(each in an individual car) just have to stop on the highway get out of the car with your signs and lock the keys in (this is important, its what prevents the police from making you move out of the way quick).

Traffic is the way to get your message to the people, thats why grafitti is illegal in most places, cause its the way for the people to communicate massively between them. Why do you think there is so much advertisement? People spend a lot of time in cars. If you stop and start waving your signs about decriminalization then you get your message clear to the people, but doing rallies and stuff like that you only get people who are already with you and a few interested people. This way of doing it, you get your message to people who don't know anything about the subject. Plus, you are creating a jam, monthly, people hate jams so the people will get interested in getting you out of they way so they can get home, and they will get informed. Its how it worked for MLK, he just didn't do it in a highway, he went to places and stood in front of people and talked straight to them.

Im stoned, but my point is, you have to do something, by talking activism in forums you don't get too far, you have to go to the masses, and the masses are in traffic, on the way to their homes to get the daily news all chewed up and ready to be believed, but you have the chance to delay them and get the real news from real people...

got caught up in it again, ok i'll stop rambling and go get some munchies...
This is childish and idiotic. Do not inconvenience -anyone- while doing civil disobedience or any activism for -any- cause whatsoever. I cannot state this strongly enough.
