I finally figured out the three-fingered "W" sign.
It's a "shocker" offered up to the entire country, only the dumb bastards couldn't figure out how to do it correctly.

4. I've been thinking of the 3 fingered W pointed down as a sign of unity.
I just wish there was a unifying sign for us. It just seems there needs to be more recognition as we go about our daily lives just how many of us there are. Kind of like the peace sign, which of course has never lost its relevance either, but it doesn't go far enough. Sadly, this is NOT just about the war.


I don't know, it's just a thought. You might say I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.

5. The peace sign is fine, but...
...I can't quite get over seeing Nixon with his outstretched 'V'd' fingers on both hands--that kinda spoils it for me.

We need something of our own...

6. My own performance of a "W" sign...
...only it's a "No W" and I did it on the grounds of the White House:

8. A shocker is two in the pink, one in the stink. The W is all stink. Big
difference, that.
