Of course they weren't letting anyone "deviate from the script". Leftists can't handle an unpredictable forum such as live debate, that's why they fail consistently in Talk Radio, and why they secretly want to destroy talk radio shows. They know that someone is eventually going to catch them in their lies, so they'd have everything scripted and under their control, like the power hungry socialist maniacs they are. Way to kick greenie a**, TX Freepers!

I also don't think you would be able to build something like BART with the type of small-scale technology normally advocated by the lefties. Building rail systems is quite remarkably industry-intensive, using any number of belching, hissing, fuel-guzzling monsters. The "small is beautiful" crowd doesn't seem to like that idea.
I don't think lefties pay much attention to the potential results of their proposals. They just hate what exists now, without trying to figure out what would actually work better.
I can't blame them for hating what exists now. Heck, I hate the fact that I can't afford to move to Via Lido Nord in Newport Beach (typical house price: $4,000,000). But that doesn't mean that by shaking up society I'd be any better off. The only way I become better off is by doing something that, in time, becomes worth $4,000,000. The fact that I have that opportunity is the great advantage of capitalism.
I must flag this for particular attention:
They were of course denied access and were even told by the lefties that "they had scripted the trial and were not letting anyone deviate from the script.What good is a mock trial if it goes entirely by script? Not much, I say.
For a group of people who say they support dissent, they sure are close-minded - especially, of course, when outnumbered.

Tourists? They hate tourists? Tourists go to the National Parks to take in the beauty...these yahoos want the national parks walled off so they are protected for eternity. I've sat in hearings on the Hill where they preach about the evils of off road bicycles, campers, hikers, personal watercraft...I could go on and on.
They won't be satisfied till we're all living at home burning wood fires and walking to work or not working at all because we're sitting home waiting for the government to send us our allotment checks just for being alive.

I certainly did!!!
Not a word about the pro-Exxon protesters which out numbered the anti-Exxon protesters by 3 to 1. The picture shown was taken from our side.
NOTE: You must register to use their web site. Its free, which is more of an indication of what it's worth.

There is a video clip too, but I couldn't view it with anything I have on my laptop.
