I don't know who this photo belongs to or who the guy is in the tee or even when it was taken (my mum emailed me the photo... she's such a spammer these days that I'm pretty sure she's working for the Russian Mafia and is attempting a lamo DoS) but I love it and want to see more of it. Forget about tying yourself to a tree or lying down in front of bulldozers. Forget about blogging, podcasting or any other form of active protest. Just wear a tee, stand next to the subject of your protest, get your photo taken, distribute it on the web, and see if you can embarrass your victim into stopping whatever behaviour it is that you dislike. Although I don't think the PM is stupid. I think he knows exactly what he's doing.
BTW, I've just read John Pilger's "The New Rulers Of The World". It's a brilliantly written and incredibly excrutiating (not in a James Frey "Million Little Pieces" kind of way) series of cogent essays which document the sinister methods our western governments have used in the last 30 years to subjugate countries such as Indonesia and Iraq. It also has an damning critique of Australia's racism. I've got to track him down for a chat.
And, if you've got nothing better to do, check out the latest Productivity Show (an interview with GTD expert Jason Womack) and G'Day World (interview with UK chick rock band 'Planet Of Women').

ok, go Simon with the large brain! How do you manage, Simon? Do you have to carry that large brain and vocabulary around with you in a wheelbarrow? It must be a challenge for you to come down to our paltry intellectual level. Thanks so much for taking the time, we are all really very honoured.
