Puking for Peace

[Kevin Robert Dean]

About 20 young people calling themselves Pukers4Peace
emptied the plaza in front of the Federal Building with a
street performance -- of induced vomiting. 
"Militarism makes me sick," said Don Abbott, a Contra Costa
College journalism student who headed the group. "Puking is
the most disgusting display of emotion that is still legal.
We've gotten flack from other protesters, but we are past
trying to appeal to people's sensibilities." 

The group splattered its message between 7 and 10 a.m., but
pools of vomit still covered much of the plaza at
mid-afternoon. Everyone who came within yards reeled away,
fingers on noses. 

"My puddle is the longest-lasting one," proudly declared
Lauren Errea, a UC- Berkeley student.
