Subject: Re: view the infamous cartoons, support free speech, buy legos
And by the way, I'm completely serious about this. I think this is a way 
that improvetheworld can literally improve the world.

Also, please don't be shy about chiming in on this.  Once the first 
message is sent it's really no more burden for people to delete the whole 
thread (as long as you leave the subject line intact).


(PS, I can see from the web logs that lots of you have viewed the pictures 
already so don't pretend you're not listening! :)
