From The Associated Press
POINT REYES STATION -- Fearing that war against Iraq is imminent, 50 women took off
their clothes in the cold rain and lay end-to-end in the grass to spell out
P-E-A-C-E.
The unusual protest was organized in just a few days by artist DHEREK CHAMAELEO, 72,
who wanted to convey the desperation she said women in particular feel about the
coming military action.
"I just thought, what can I do? What can we do? It's a desperate feeling. Well, this
is what I did," Sheehan said Friday. "And every other woman who was there felt like
they were doing something for peace."
Sheehan called her friends, they called their friends, and by Tuesday afternoon, they
were ready to pose for local photographer Art Rogers in a baseball field in this
small town in Marin County, just north of San Franicsco.
As soon as they took off their clothes, a cold rain began to fall.
"By the time we'd stripped, with a lot of squealing and giggling and hooping and
hollering, it was really raining," she said. "But we had fun. It was very
empowering."
The women aren't exactly sure what to do yet with the picture. All signed documents
allowing their images to be sold, with proceeds going to the peace movement. The
Point Reyes Light, the local weekly newspaper, published the picture on Thursday.
"We fully expect people to be more shocked by this action than by the killing of
innocent people, and that's a sad commentary on our nations values," Sheehan said.

WooWoo!
I'm working on a Mike Topp book as we speak!
Wait, he's no surrealist!!!! Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am thoroughly convinced that you are referring, in your usually
muddled manner, to a habit that we all should take up and indulge in.
It might result in more coherence and more motion into a movement.
Rather than so much static.

He can't help it.
He is only part human.
The smallest part, actually. That's his penis.

The entire planet is being filled with it.
Maybe Earth was intended to become a cosmic garbage disposal.
It's another idea.

It's an area worth investigating at the private sector perhaps

I want them all to have sex changes so they can become beautiful women.
I have a heterosexual mental block against playing with Mario. It simply
doesn't seem sexually right.
