Derek Jensen asked:
Can someone please explain this picture to me?
The picture is of a pink bra, painted with "burn bras not children".
There are two things going on here: one is a muddling of anti-war protests
with other issues important to the left, which has kept many anti-war
libertarians from participating in the protests (both as attendees, by
their own choice, and as speakers, by rally organizers). The other is
something reported by the _Chronicle_ recently, that most of the activists
are of the Woodstock generation; while there are many young
anti-establishment folks in SF, nationally, the protesters are generally
the same people who protested against the Vietnam War.
So random '60s left issues such as bra-burning feminism get thrown into
the bag along with opposition to the Iraq War, shaken well, and dumped on
the head of a bemused public.
Single Payer Health Care, Not Stealth Bombers!
Burn Bras, Not Children!
Peace, Not Capitalism!
Welfare, Not Warfare!
... and other false dichotomies.
