I agree that humor would be a bad approach for protesting torture. I was mostly posting that for the person who thought that humor had no place at all.
I also think that vast numbers aren't always appropriate. Witness those individuals who were courageous enough to simply stand and wear hoods or orange prison outfits at events where Gonzales and (I think) Yoo were speaking. Or the lone man who stood before the tanks in Tienanmen Square.
It is difficult to know, ahead of time, what will resonate. All the more reason to encourage all types of expression, but to also have ano verall body for coordination.
Throw the whole bag of tricks at them and see which clown noses stick.
p.s. Baldie - we'll have to tone it down a bit. We've startled the resident ungulate and you know what can happen when something with hooves and horns that big gets excited.....
