lifeasdaddy - Panty power.
Over the past month I've received quite a few invitations to join certain on-line communities or Facebook groups or to sign various on-line petitions - all opposing the ruling military junta in Burma.
I've declined because I believe them to be exercises in futility and feelgoodism.
However, there is a new grassroots movement amongst women in Thailand opposing the Burmese junta and aiming to cripple it by sending their panties to the Burmese rulers. Apparently,
Burma’s superstitious generals, particularly junta chief Than Shwe, believe that contact with any item of women’s wear deprives them of their power.
Doc Searls has good coverage here.
Well girls, it's up to you now.
UPDATE:
If you're in Melbourne tomorrow, you can give up your Panties for Peace!
Panty Power for Than Shwe & SPDC

Bring a pair of your panties to the State Library - Burmese generals believe women's panties can rob them of their power. This is your chance to use your Panty Power to take away the power from the SPDC and support the people of Burma.

As I said, an exercise in futility and feelgoodism.
