Slog - Comments on Letter of the Day http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/letter_of_the_day_17 I painted this 36-foot diameter peace sign on the roof of my house in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. It can be seen by passing aircraft and will eventually be visible in satellite images such as Google Earth and Microsoft VE. Peter Reiquam...

Tie a string to a nail at the center of the roof. Tie a pencil to the other end of the string. Pull string taut and draw a big circle. Shorten string and repeat. Fill in the circle.

I was wondering, too. Now I feel a little stupid that I didn't think of it myself.

That way GWB can see it every time he flies in or out on one of those helicopters.

Must be for the old people --- the scum masses --- the reds --- and who bothers to protest anymore - etc. ad nauseum.

Go for it, let the Peace Signs multiply across the city. I have a pendant with a leather strap somewhere.....

about the good works of others, sitting on their fetid asses, doing nothing except trying to pass as jaded experts on political activism

it is only evil neo colonial war after all, why bother

yawn, yawn, I am so cool tonight, time to abuse people on the internet, while I wonder what my life is good for

how about a personal statement for yourself against the evil of all mankind, war

you are a bunch of real simple sheeple - shit talkers indeed

remember George Bush loves you, passive, accepting and ready to be fleeced
