(Dilemma #2) - "Reclaim the Streets!" The IssueSeveral major city streets were clogged with bicycles this morning, as the environmental group 'Two Wheels Good, Four Wheels Bad' staged a protest. Several hundred riders ambled through downtown streets, blissfully ignoring the torrent of abuse hurled at them by thousands of motorists running late for work. The Debate- Option 1: "People are sick of dirty, smelly automobiles," said protest organizer Jean-Paul O'Bannon. "They're choking the city, the environment--our lives! Cars must be banned!"
- Option 2: "The only thing people are sick of is long-haired idiots riding their bicycles at two miles an hour on major thoroughfares," says committed motorist Alexei Jong-Il. "People shouldn't be able to protest like this. The government needs to crack down on them."
- Option 3: The Automotive Manufacturers Association, meanwhile, has called for government support. "It's clear that we need to boost the level of automobile support in this country. This protest this morning is a clear indication of... um... anyway, we need more government funds."
(Edited by Praetor since Tar A listed the argument for option one under option three as well, for some reason.)#nosmileys

All these options are terrible. We can't ban cars, we can't ban protests and I'll be buggered if I'm going to prop up the auto industry, for the second time in a row, Dismiss!
Well.....it would have been dismiss if I hadn't clicked 1 by mistake......meh. I could always clear my history and get another vote, if I wasn't so lazy.

Ban the protestors! there are more civilised avenues of complaint than grand standing in this manner.

I also vote to dismiss, which brings it ahead by one.

Gee, you guys are pretty boring. Dismissification it is.
And yes, I'm perfectly aware that's not a word.
I'm just surprised that hasn't happened before now. I tend to put off doing these until right when I'm really tired and about to sign off for the night. Thanks for fixing it.
