Where is the freeway blogger when we need him or her, ok maybe they are a bunch of people, myself included (shutupshutupshutup!) Oh wait, here we are (ahem) http://www.freewayblogger.com/index.htm
Nothing gets the heart pumping like putting up anti-groupthink signs in very public places knowing the long arm of Johnny Law is reaching out to you every second that you are wiring that sign up to the chainlink fence and the traffic is zooming by below.
