Tell-a-friend Thursday, plus: John, Yoko, bagism, and some frightening food for thought

I have a very simple request for those visiting the site today:
Tell a friend.

Convince someone you know to stop by and have a look around. If they choose to make a comment, please ask them mention who sent them, okay?

For another way to support the site, check out the box in the right hand column...just below the “about” section.

Thanks.

All we are saying…

Interview with John and Yoko, re: bagism:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/carousel/pob07.html

John Lennon says:
“We’re trying to sell peace, like a product, you know, and sell it like people sell soap or soft drinks, you know, and the only way to get people aware that peace is possible, and it isn’t just inevitable to have violence, not just war - all forms of violence.”

At the unofficial Bagism site (http://www.bagism.com), it reads: “The underlying concept of John and Yoko’s ‘bagism’ idea is interactivity among people without prejudice. The Internet is a great place to achieve that ideal because you are judged only by your words—not by your looks, age, gender, ethnicity, etc.”

Accurate? Naïve? Futile? Possible? Whaddya think?
