Blah, blah, blah. I did like the very last part, however:

On strike day February 28th, carry out group peacemaking activities of your own design. Here are some suggestions: .... do street theater; meditate for peace, then play music, dance, and generally kick up your heels for peace!

Samba for Saddam! Hootenanny for Hussein!

[RightWhale]

They already don't buy gasoline and they all ride bicycles. What else is it they won't do while on strike? Not do their math homework?

[xm177e2]

Let's go Hugo Chavez on them.

Just kidding! They have nothing to fear from us because we're not evil tyrants.

Which is why pacifism is inherently anti-freedom--because it doesn't hurt dictators, it only hurts democracies.

[sheik yerbouty]

They should also refrain from procreating.

[lady lawyer]

How many of them do you think actually have jobs?

Elsewhere at the same website:

So let's get Bush's attention in a way he can't ignore. Join us for a ONE-DAY NATIONWIDE STRIKE, Friday, February 28. If the administration won't pay attention to us, let's take the fight to the business community and let them tell Bush to stand down. Don't go to work, don't buy gas or even start your car. Stay out of stores and restaurants. DON'T SPEND A DIME. Hit them in their wallets and show them we mean business.

If you are a doctor, fireman, policeman etc., of course you can't withhold your services. But you can participate by keeping your money in your pocket. Bring in lunch, stay out of stores, walk or bicycle to work if you can. Bush doesn't listen to us, but he WILL listen to the business community. Let's give them something to talk about. link to moronic ranting

[mountaineer]

They're going to teach Bush a lesson (and how!) by refusing to spend a single dime of their allowance from mommy and daddy (or their welfare benefits, as the case may be).

[discostu]

BWAHAHAHA, it's a friday most people go to lite work mode on fridays anyway. What a bunch of shmucks. Like there's even enough of them for us to notice.

Okay, if you are going to buy anything in the next few weeks do it on the 28th. On the 28th work harder at your job than usual, wear a button or make a placard or bumper sticker voicing your union with the president.

Tofu and granola production will plummet! It'll be another depression!

[telebob]

Here's the scene...the dude is sitting in his room. He's just had dinner..Wow! Mom was really on tonight...she makes the best pot roast. I'll roll up a fat one and work on my manifesto....

[Britton J Wingfield]

I'll roll up a fat one and work on my manifesto....

I'm going to steal that one.

[mountaineer]

It would be funny if a hacker got into their sites and changed the date to the 29th. How many would notice? Dude! The day just disappeared, man!

[Kozak]

Yeah. Every Starbucks, Organic grocery and Head Shop will be be shut down.
AMERICA WILL BROUGHT TO IT'S KNEES!

[Feiny]

I am sure they are all such productive members of society.
I guess the college lecture halls will be empty.

[vandy]

I will be doing all of my shopping on the 28th.

[facedown]

BTTT

[mountaineer]

These geniuses are planning not only this "general" strike (hoping actual working Americans will participate), but a student strike (Books Not Bombs!!) on March 5, as if the professors will care whether anyone comes to class or not. Who can tell when a college student is on strike? And if they don't spend any money at all on Feb. 28, what will the ganja dealers do?

[DontMessWithMyCountry]

...called to walk in the footsteps of Gandhi...

They WISH they could walk in his footsteps, let alone his shadow. He'd chew them up and spit them out just for their utter stupidity. Gandhi never 'walked' for peace against the nations who were eradicating the last beast of the earth (Hitler). They use names of people, merely feigning some kind of understanding of who they really were. These phony-bolognas would high-tail it out faster than the Roadrunner could, if anyone threw a freaking spit-wad at them. Gandhi was *not* a wimp, contrary to the depiction that some like to advertise about him. These people are, no doubt, just auditioning for the new series, "As The Stomach Turns."

Note to self: Better stock-up on Whoppers and fries on the 27th.
