Signs, Signs, Everywhere Are Effing Signs
A recap of the weekend rally.
Were you too busy to attend the World Bank/International Monetary Fund/Free Palestine/End Global Hunger/Stop The War/End Racism rallies in Washington, D.C. this past weekend?
Don't worry. I attended for you. Below are actual, unedited words scribbled on signs held high by America's protesters. They reflect energetic, if cluttered, minds wrestling with our civilization's many faults and injustices.
The signs appear in alphabetical order. What they lack in a coherent, unifying message, they make up for in an abundance of blue language and themes--and occasional truths.
All Our Leaders Are Corporate Whores
Cannibis Smokers Are Not Criminals
Che Guevara
Corporate Scum, Here We Cum
Damn World Banks For Dams
Destroy The CIA
Drop Debt Not Bombs
Drop Sanctions Not Bombs
End Debt Slavery
Eracism
Free Palestine/No War on Iraq
Fuck Off Bush
