AWESOME babe~ I am going to feature this on my blog next week!
great post! hadn't heard about those quotes in my history book - but history books usually don't quote subversive thoughts.
BRILLIANT.
Godspeed the Freeway Blogger. It is dawn in America. I see him there, carrying his poster board...
... strutting across the overpass, the spurs of his high Spanish leather boots clicking along the granite, his full sleeves undulating over French cuffs fastened with precious jewels. His scabbard…
bounced / pranced / gamboled
…gamboles against his thighs, slung from the studded belt that hugs his rockhard derriere.
Our ever-vigilant hero, the Freeway Blogger.
LOLL!! Free Mumia in a hot minute(man)!

How is spray painting something on a piece of cardboard and leaving it near a highway any different than Pual Revere's comment?
Spraypainting something on cardboard is a lot like stickering, actually: it shows the person cared enough to do the very least.
Painting the cardboard white and handpainting gigantic signs, on the other hand, makes a far more dramatic statement, and when placed with a bit of cleverness, will be seen by over a hundred thousand people in a day. Done properly, they can change the very landscape people are travelling through.
Stickers can't really do that - nor just spraypainting stuff on cardboard. I think it's important to make it look as though you really care about what you're saying, and to do your utmost to get people to read it. The first amendment not only allows and protects this, but I believe demands it if you believe your nation is in peril. It is.
