(2004-08-02) Barlow Flash Dance

John Perry Barlow suggests dancing Flash Mob-s during the Republican Party National Convention. The GOP strategy of basing their root-level organization on Hot Protestantism has infused their ranks with a lot of chilly Puritanism, which, as H L Mencken defined it, is "the haunting fear that someone, somewhere, is having a good time."

Or maybe people should break out in singing Vote Yes, Vote for Independency! (The kids have been listening to the 1776 soundtrack constantly since July4.)
