- Cool. I know how you feel,...I'm pagan, and I agree that violence won't solve
- the problem. So far, I've found that getting people to laugh at Bros. inc. is
- the best way to do this. Street theatre is useful, legal, and great for
- photo-opts...like the Sister Cindy lookalike contest. Half a dozen guys got
- into wigs, long, flowing flannel gowns, sunhats, and bibles to have a contest
- with prizes for Best Claw, Best legs, Best Harangue, Best Disco-queen
- imitation, and Best sister Cindy Scowl. It was GREAT!!! There were pics taken
- for the paper! And best of all, Brother Jed and Sister Cindy turned bright
- Purple when they had a taste of their own medicine thrown at them! It's
- especially important for people like me to fight as rationally and as
- well-informed as we can--we're some of the people that Brother Jed has openly
- threatened the most with actual violence. (I'm bi, too, so I get the heat both
- ways.)
