If we burned draft cards in the 60's,
what could we do that would symbolize our discontent today?

I suggest burning Mickey Mouse ears to protest the Corporate Media propaganda being rammed down American throats everyday.

1. I'd suggest burning televisions...
...as the perfect symbol of resistance against the whole corporate media schtick, but I doubt if most Americans could be convinced to part with their goggleboxes. They'd be more likely to voluntarily part with their firstborn.

Never mind the PCBs that would be released into the atmosphere.

3. Unfortunately, the mouse ears hat would probably have more positive
...connotations for the average viewer than the person burning the hat.

4. High ratings for networks OTHER THAN ABC on the nights
Edited on Sun Sep-10-06 12:01 AM by EVDebs
Path to 9-11 is on. I think the football game should be a good one, don't you ? If I were network execs for CBS and NBC, I'd have on something that would put ABC to shame...

6. Boycott Disney in the run up to Xmas
No toys, no DVDs, no films.

Order Disney vacation kits in the name of William Jefferson (Your Last Name) or Madeleine A. (Your last name). They have to pay to send those out. Then, when they email you with bargains and offers, slap them by responding that you are boycotting them. Also, you'll know if the bums have sold your address if you get crap addressed to William J. YourLastName...

Here's the link: https://secure.disney.go.com/wdw/myVacation/vpk?id=VPKPage
