Is this an appropriate, or even legal use of Wooster Square Park? Could this set a precedent for all sorts of special interest groups cluttering our park on Saturday mornings?

I hope SCF doesn't pull down this post. I am trying to remain civil, but some ideas are so provocative they deserve a very strong response.
I just can't help asking you, who are you? Where are you from? What system of government do you beleive in? How do you live everyday in this country, in this culture, under this 250-year-old system of democracy and not know this is legal? There is no excuse for such fundamental ignorance in civics!
This is a small group holding an educational event to raise awareness of our over-dependence on fossil fuels. They are doing it in a public park. Sorry, but are you mad?

meetings, anarchist-educational programs or any other type of one-sided crap that advocates
hate and violence. You DON'T own the park and you have no "right" to take over. If you spent more time
looking for a job, you would be a much happier person. And if you can't find a job, you have no one
to thank but our "wonderful" (ha, ha) president.

Free speech is free speech whether or not the topic is convenient. As has already been posted, if the parties pick up after themselves then there shouldn't be a problem We may not like what another person has to say but we need to be willing to fight for their right to say it. :)
If you do not approve of the message consider that a strong response against it may effectively dignify it... just some food for thought.

Yes, if anti-abortion activists were in WoosterSquare for a few hours demonstrating I would grit and bear it because that is democracy. These questions were answered over 200 years ago by a revolution, a declaration and a constitution. Civics 101.
The issue of minority interests being protected is one of the most essential features of a democracy.
The alternative is far worse.
Wooster Square is public -- it's not like Grammercy Park in NY

Wiz Waz, re it not being the place to hold a forum on alternative fuels. Well, apparently it was: They thought it was, they planned it and they did it. How on earth did that happen when it is so 'not' the place? Wonders never cease.
I am even more suprised to learn that it is not the place for private gatherings either. Wow, because I am planning a picnic lunch with a couple friends. The three of us are going to sit on the grass and eat some sandwiches. Gotta a problem with that too? Should I get your permisison?
Are you going to call police on us or sic a dog on us? Let me know so I can plan accordingly.
I heard Opera on Wooster Square a few weeks ago. Where they heck do they get off singing Traviata? The nerve.
And what does any of this have to do with being employed? I don't get that either.
I mean, define the appropriate uses? Clearly, they are whatever you say they are and not a hair off.
