Well, not to derail or anything, but the deeper meaning of the free slurpee is that tangible results trump convoluted fantasies every time.

No, I'm advocating that people actually complain about important civic issues, like the incessant suburban sprawl and vast and expensive interchanges that are seen as "necessary" - yet are not - and cost orders of magnitude more than the issues people DO seem to latch onto like pedestrian bridges and Sunday road closures. You see being against Druh's plan as a symbolic gesture against incompetence, I see it as a bunch of Quixotes battling a pinata and mostly losing.

I live practically on this "major" road and I'm telling you that closing it on the weekend is a non-issue. I object to people telling me it IS an issue who don't live here, near here, or come here outside of during the work-week.
It has nothing to do with whether or not it's appropriate to complain about issues in general, and everything to do with complaining about this in particular. It's not worth the effort of even languidly disapproving from under a pub umbrella with a beer.
