This is a strike and a demonstration for the purpose of being able to drive recklessly and have nothing done about it. This is a theater of the absurd.” -- New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, decrying a one-day strike by the city's 12,000 yellow cab drivers. The protest, which slowed the Big Apple to an almost standstill, was in response to a proposal to inflict higher penalties for driving infractions and institute drug and alcohol testing of cab drivers.
