striking a wet match on a dark, windy plane? or just a big party?

Here's wishing a safe trip and Godspeed (or Jahspeed as some say) to the folks going to the peace demonstration in D.C. this weekend, some of whom are people that I love and/or like. May the words be heard by the people who need to hear them, and may it all come off peacefully. Keep in mind that peace lovers are at a distinct disadvantage if it comes to a conflict against war lovers. What if you're carrying a peace sign and your called out by some nazi whose way overdue for a complete ass kicking? Would cold-cocking him constitute an implied endorsement of his philosophy?
My advice is stay near the TV cameras; you'll be less likely to have somebody do a Chicago 68' on your head.
And if you see Carl Rove, run like hell. He'll find a way to make YOU look like the bad guy.

I watched the movie "A Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" last night. Funny stuff. If Carl Sagan, Jim Henson, Voltaire, and Monty Python got together to make a film, I think it would turn out a bit like this one. It even reminded me of Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" in places. It wasn't a hit in theaters I understand, in fact, I don't remember it being in theaters. Maybe because of the logistics difficulty of getting and using hallucinogens in large public buildings.
