.....
I was just composing an email to Hugh Esco, clerk of the Georgia Green Party. In it I was explaining that while I would like to help with the petition drive to get the party on the ballot this November, I don't have much free time right now, because I just bought a house. My new house is in Cobb County, a notoriously conservative area of Georgia, so I did mention that I'd like to help out after I get moved in, though I wasn't sure if I could find more than three Greens in Cobb.
That put me in mind of Arlo Guthrie and Alice's Restaurant:
Walk into the shrink wherever you are, just walk in, say, "Shrink.....You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant".....and walk out. You know, if one person, just one person does it, they may think he's really sick and they won't take him.
And if two people do it.....in harmony.....they may thing they're both FAGGOTS and they won't take either of them. And if THREE people do it! Can you imagine three people walkin' in, singin' a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? They might think it's an organization!
And can you imagine fifty people a day? I said FIFTY people a day.....walkin' in singin' a bar of "Alice's Restaurant" and walkin' out? Friends, they may think it's a MOVEMENT, and that's what it is:
THE ALICE'S RESTAURANT ANTI-MASSACREE MOVEMENT!
