I WAS TOLD MY SIGN MIGHT BE SEEN AS A 'WEAPON' BY the goons the republicans had recuited-- the snipers might shoot me...lol. Not to worry,the goon had about five pro-Dukakis stickers on the back of his trenchcoat as reward for keeping me 'company' during the rally- he went the whole rally with them on.

I actually brainstormed a political protest that got on CNN when I was 16 - we used helium balloons with pro democrat banners and released them so they barraged Dan Quayle when he spoke at OSU...that is kinda the limit of my 'terrorism'.

It did fluster Quayle, but thats no real accomplishment- sorta like saying you confused a chicken....
