They should be illegal! especially in big cities! It took me 2 extra hours to get home because the city wants to block off the main access roads I needed to take to get home. What bullshit. All it is is nothing more than a series of slow moving ridiculously decorated vehicles for corporate and government advertisements and free politician campaigns. All at the taxpayer's expense I might add. At a typical parade scene: Lots of screaming crying kids complaining, obnoxious people sitting around, clowns, and traffic jams. Also lots of fascist police officers getting paid for standing around enforcing the blockade of streetways when a parade volunteer could be just as effective. These events make normal peoples' lives miserable so they can dump taxpayer dollars so the mayor and congressman can advertise themselves as well as big businesses. While at the same time causing carbon monoxide inducing traffic jams.
I agree that parades are bullshit. I can't see them taking it to a park because i would imagine people wouldn't show up. So they put there business in a crowded area already running at full steam because the only way they can get noticed is to intrude. Sounds like any government to me.
i got an idea.. lets win the stupid bowl so we can have a parade and spray children with champagne.. yes yes. Spray alcohol on the kiddies, it will conform them to our ways...
Well FBC my 1st thought was to call a spade a spade and just say you're a puss. Get over it. Everything AIN'T ABOUT YOU!!! You're cryin' and bellyachin' like you're detoured every damn day with one Parade after another. How long b4 we hear you bitchin' and moaning about driving in the SNOW and how come you NEVER SEE A SNOW PLOW ON YOUR ROAD??!!? (Answer is THEY know where YOU LIVE and THEY are detouring around your place on purpose!!!) For the record...I LIKE PARADES!!! I've been in 2 Fourth of July Parades myself with a contingent of Mountainmen wearing our Daniel Boone/Davy Crockett outfits shooting blank rounds in our Black Powder rifles and pistols. IT WAS A HOOT!! I went thru 2 horns of powder and had more fun than you can shake a stick at!!! So put that in your pipe and smoke it!! End of the line for you crybaby!!
