I donated too and agree....all the input has been terrific!
thanks
Thank you to Michael E. and Mike D. for welcoming changes to the
original poster.
Ron Getty's most important point, I believe, is the question of who
is the audience for this poster. For example, the general public
might not react favorably to portraying the police smiling during an
arrest. On the other hand, if the poster were to decorate our booths
during various fairs and tablings, the interested audience stopping
by might be more receptive.
Starchild, Ron, and I have provided very specific suggestions for
changes. I am wondering how Starchild would want to go about
arriving at a concensus.
