Sounds like a great idea to me, except that your pious co-workers probably wouldn't recognize Chomsky either by picture or by name. Marx, now, that's worth considering.

****************************************************** Nice one!
When I worked at Stanford Library, I had a bunch of photos cut out from the annual IWW calendar and elsewhere posted all over the fish-bowel windows of my office. Said office was situated at the entrance to the Media-Microtext section of Green Library and people were more or less funneled through that spot to get to the goodies. Over the years, I got a lot of postive comments on the pix and only a very few negatives. Once though, in the mid-90s a new conservative student newspaper was started (with financial help from the usual suspects) and the con-stus who ran it started a little campaign to get me to take my pix down. It was unsuccessful, even though my boss hinted that it would be nice, if I did removed them. Most people (workers/students and faculty--who I consider workers too) supported leaving them up. I think a lot of people got a vicarious kick out me tweaking the noses of the rich and powerful with these depictions of class struggle. Somewhere near George Sand, I put up a post-card photo of Karl which I had purchased while in Trier.

Once the new office workers had reached that stage, when their intellectual capacity and their ambition had become like those of sheep in a flock, that was when they had begun to be useful and reliable pillars of the Company they worked for and which paid them their salary."
