| #11 ...Little known but true fact: Most of those hats (and those worn by the various other regiments and bands) are about 100 years old. Mike |

| #10 Well, I would be interested in seeing them protest in January or February rather than July - going topless then in Latvia takes real courage. |

| #9 Personally I hope they do a round the world protest at every British Embassy. I'll can't wait for them to get to San Diego. |

| #7 Ah yes, the protest perfunctory topless display. The protest use of "bare skin" to protest the use of "bear skin." Oh, never mind. Does anyone really take this sort of thing seriously? The "boobs not bombs" posting made one want to escape to somewhere else quickly. |

| #6 Two points. (1) It's nice to see naked protesters that don't burn your eyes. (2) They use a lot of fur clothing in nearby Russia so why are the Latvian's targeting the British? I mean how often do they need to replace the bear hats anyway? And how many hats per bear? I should think that if a beer dies in the London zoo they'd have enough fur for a decades worth of new hats and no harm done, while in Russia they kill lots of little animals to create big furcoats (which keep you from freezing to death but I'm trying to think like a protester a bit here). |

| #3 ...against the use of bear skin... "Roight! We will no longer be using bear skin for our 'ats. From now on, we will be using...bare skin. It's 'arvesting time, lads!" |
