Report from Reclaim the Streets

Joey's written up a wonderful description of his accordion-fuelled adventures at Toronto's Reclaim the Streets rally:

Man: Not my scene. I'm a Buddhist.
Me: That doesn't rule out reading the Bible. Buddhists consider the teachings of many other religions valid. They consider Christ to have been enlightened.
Man: No shit?
Me: Ever read Living Buddha, Living Christ?
Man: Um...never even heard of it.
Of course not. I decided to adminsiter the "Are you really a Buddhist, or are you doing the religion-as-fashion-statement thing" test.
