Good point. Shouldn't ALL drivers be ashamed of themselves because of
drunk drivers? Critical massers don't mame and kill people last time I
checked.

If they want to protest, fine -- but protesting as bicyclists is a lousy
idea. That is, unless, of course, they want to assure that any future
Republican administration (including, let's face it, GW's possible second
term) goes out of its way to stick it to the interests of cyclists.

You can advocate for cycling and also protest the war in Iraq without doing
both at the same time. Sheesh.
