Does this count as a donation?
If a group of people decide to walk around to raise money for a charity, and cause such a problem with traffic that my bus is late, and I don't get paid unless I am at my job, does that constitute a donation from me to them? I sure don't have the money I lost from waiting outside for a very late bus.
Hey, Seattle breast cancer charity walkers - the rest of us want to get to work. I am tired of you folks blocking traffic every year. Can't you just wait for traffic lights and obey stop signs?
Stopping traffic and screwing up your fellow citizens' schedules is a really crappy way to "raise awareness" for your "charity".
Confine your walking to a weekend, and to somewhere outside of a major urban center.
Pissing me off does not help your cause at all.
