Evolution advocates have way underused this idea. We could get
a group together in any city in which school boards discuss
the notion of creationism in the schools, each with some wacky costume,
all carrying signs demading equal time in the science class for [fill in
the blank.] We could have a phony suami, demanding the teaching
of the earth resting on a tortoise. I would dress up as a 60s-style
stoner, with the headband, beads, ty-dye and a sign saying:
"The world was created out of a giant reefer. Man."
The lesson would not be lost on those present. Furthermore it
would be great fun. It would be... groovy and far out. {8-] spike
