5 Feet of Fury

Kathy Shaidle's blog. Est. 2000

So where was I? Oh, yeah… (video update below)

September 29, 2011 By Kathy Shaidle

As I’ve been saying…

Back in 1986, we held a 72-hour-vigil outside various consulates in Toronto, to protest NATO test flights over Innu land. (The sonic booms were a bitch…)

We traveled from the German consulate to somebody else’s to somebody else’s, camping out on the sidewalk and handing out an excellent flyer on the issue.

(Seriously. It was a hell of a flyer. Passersby would politely take them, then walk all the way back a minute later and say, “What the hell?! Where do I sign?”)

We’d spell each other off so people could go eat at Fran’s at 2 a.m.

I mention all this to say:

We had more people taking part in that 3-day “action” about a relatively obscure and long forgotten issue than the Days of Rage people did in San Francisco this week:

 

 

BONUS:

(Not really) incredibly, one of the guys looks like he’s wearing one of OUR yin/yang peace dove t-shirts.

(They were silk screened in my living room, using house paint. Enjoy!)

UPDATE — any excuse to repost this:

And why not — what the hell? — part 2 and 3 of Opie, Anthony and Jim Norton being unimpressed and swearing a lot (especially Anthony, who sounds a lot like Milton Friedman, if Milton Friedman had Tourette’s…):
