#3  A good article to read. I'm posting a link to it at my site to memoize it.

Just in case...

#2  From the article: Whenever anyone related to the movement dies, they will gather and sing songs -- and the police will not interfere! It's a real problem to tear-gas a funeral." I guess in Libya it's not much of a problem to shoot the mourners.

#1  READ this article, people. The reason God made so many people is that they all contribute different creativity...and this creativity is vast and boundless.

Defeat Force with Ideas. Dictatorships are all the same in one thing. But human freedom is always creative.

remember the pictures of Obama as the Joker? What if you saw them every day...cheap blank newsprint with a pic of Obama as the Joker. Soak the newsprint with a spray bottle of milk and sugar and slap it up all over town at night. Everybody on the team do 200 tonite.

Use simple things and laugh. You can get a pound of sugar and get a gallon of milk and a spray bottle from the garage or from under the sink. Get a cheap silk print frame from an art supply shop and make a copy of a picture of Obama as the Joker. Run off a couple of Thousand. Visit your friends and get them to visit their friends.... get the local highschool involved after school. There are lots of people who will do it for free. Find those people.

There are three components to any struggle. Force, Motion, and Timing. Dictators have the Force.....freedom has the other two.

Two against one. Think and be more disciplined in your thought and you can defeat Force with Motion and Timing.
Laughter and Organization are deadly things in the hands of a Free man.

2012 is next year. Let's say bye bye to this guy. A picture of the back end of a Donkey and Nancy Pelosi is so photogenic...put her pic on garbage cans...just garbage cans.
Pic +Spray bottle of milk and sugar( simple and cheap)....get some. You can put one up on a cement surface in 12 seconds flat.
