God knows I try, and I try, and I try, but it is no freakin' wonder the left in Canada gets marginilized when this their idea of mass action:

BUILD YOUR OWN ANTI BALLISTIC MISSILE - It will work as well to defend Canada as the US National Missile Defense at a fraction of the cost! Materials - The cardboard core from a roll of paper towels. A cone of paper (aluminum foil, optional), tape to fasten. Decorate on the outside with felt pens or decals. Insert a message or anti NMD flier in the center. VOILA! Be the first one on your block with an Anti- Ballistic Missile! Build as many as you can. Start an "arms race" in your neighbourhood, community, province, all around Canada. Each city will hold a stockpile gathering on January 17, 2004 to organize interception and launching exercises. We'll invite the media for that event. Each missile will be sent individually in an envelope to the Prime Minister in Ottawa briefly after January 17 (No postage required.). THE WORLD WILL BE A SAFER PLACE IF WE USE CARDBOARD MISSILES INSTEAD OF NUCLEAR ONES!


> Ps: Keep your toilet paper rolls!

And when I point out that mailing used toilet paper rolls taped together to Ottawa is going to look like some bizarre outake from the 'Red Green Show', and have even less impact than the same, I'm accused of not being constructive, or even of being in favor of NMD.

Sigh.
