Seattle's Critical Mass / Antonia Juhasz / Indymedia Cooks

This week we bring you 4 short pieces:

1) "Critical Mass" It was a critical moment for Seattle's Critical Mass bicyclists when the driver of a car that was stuck among the bicycles freaked out and ran over a couple riders. Big mistake. The next month as riders massed again, PepperSpray videographer Len Davis was on the scene to capture the footage for this report, edited by Lila Kitaeff.

2) A brief excerpt from a speech given by Antonia Juhasz in Portland, recorded by Jim Lockhart of PhilosopherSeed. In this few minutes from Antonia's "Building a Movement for the Future We Want," we get a sense of what will be coming in the near future on "Indymedia Presents," a discussion of the "situation and our tasks." Antionia gave this speech long before the Obama victory, but it is right on the money. See the following URL for Antonia's full talk:

3) "Indymedia Cooks" this short by Patricia Boiko is about vegetarian cooking. Many see vegetarian eating as a socially responsible response to the times, so Patricia takes us with her to cooking class.

4) With the holidays rushing toward us like the change in Presidents (ooh, we just can't wait!), its time to bring out an old standard on "Indymedia Presents," "How to make an electric peace sign" using Christmas lights.

Its good to see the police this time be more involved to be honest. Most masses still aren't policed. Although I don't like critical masses personally I think that if everyone would just keep in mind that one bad deed provokes another bad deed. So when you have a driver that decides to run some cyclists over and then try to take off, then yeah they should have considered in this case that it should be no wonder why their car was attacked. It was not right of those cyclists to do that either.
