Took these photos in Union Square Park exactly a year ago today. This where as I've said I intend next spring to hold my one person witness for "World Peace, and Sanity."
Um,...emphasis on that "Sanity" part.
In the interest of "Full disclosure", and also it's a good read. Here's . comments from Anon, and myself regards the virtue of Saints.

Gandhi
liked to give enemas to young girls around 12 years old and then sleep
with them alongside him "to test his virtue" as he put it. Pretty cool,
nay?
Yep swell. Yeah this always comes up...he was an asshole. A person of his culture which means he abused women, and girls.
That, and Dr. King slept around.
William Burroughs murdered his wife in Mexico, and got clean away with it because he was white, and insanely rich. Walt Disney was a bleeping Nazi sympathizer.
Robert Frost was an extreme Homophobe. To the extent that he betrayed a neighbor to the FBI.
Stanley Kubrick was racist or at least very uncomfortable with Blacks. There's a whole story about how he didn't want any blacks in his films...and and on, and on...yeah a real sweet heart.

All just great fucking swell.
Our saints are a ratty bunch, but they're all we have to work with. Let me know when they find one with no weird abusive fucked up past.
Ya know I had because of this guys fucking over kids. I had thought to hold my little demo in front of a Saint Francis shrine further uptown.
Safe bet right?
Then I hear about 'his' handing over heretics to be tired, and burned. ...great...just swell!
Maybe I should hold my damned "Witness" it in front of that "Ben, and Jerry's" in Chinatown I've been going to for the last 30 years. At least they know me there, and I can have neat ice cream when my "Witness for Sanity" is broken up by the cops.

(Here's a good reason to hold it in front of that Ben, and Jerry's!)
"Good news weed heads and ice cream fans (aka. weed heads with the munchies) – Ben & Jerry’s could, possibly, maybe, one day make a cannabis-laced ice cream."
"The actual Ben and Jerry (the ice cream companies co-founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield) made the admission during a filmed interview for the Huffington Post."
Stay Tuned.

I have the impression Gandhi-bashing has become sort of a cottage industry. He's still a damn sight better than Dick Cheney, or Mein Trumpf.
