making stuff up about the war protest
I carried three signs intermittently, provoking reactions. The first sign spurred outrage. “Out of Iraq / Into Iran!” Apparently people generally agreed with the first half of the slogan but generally disagreed with the second half of the slogan. Upon conversation, I ended up agreeing that it was a stupid idea.
The second one seemed to incite a confusion masked with a chuckle, a chuckle hiding the confusion of thinking they should find it humourous, but being afraid to admit it didn’t make sense to them. “Impeach Nixon”, which people decided was an obscure comment on our current president.
The third sign only received unadulterated confusion. “US OUT OF CASCADIA NOW!” Apparently we just aren’t ready for the concept.

Currently Van Anderson (DougFlag@hotmail. com) is trying to get a bulk order done from yet another flag company just for protests and specifically for Cascadian school organizations (clubs). Van Anderson’s contact company in out of the bioregion, but are currently lower in cost. And the goal is to get the meme out for now.
Also I am trying to get some people together to have a workshop (maybe using Beehive Collective) to create locally organic or recycled materialed Dougs
