antiwar visual
This is an idea for an antiwar visual. Anybody feel free to run with this.
- get a fish tank
- fill it with water
- put in red food coloring
- put in 3,200 of these
- display in the middle of your campus
Wouldn't that be a good visual of what Iraq has caused? I wonder how much it'd cost to get 3200 toy soldiers. Probably not that much, plus fish tanks are easy to get.
Also, what if you did it with Jello, putting the soldiers in the mold, and then you break the tank, and leave the jello just sitting there, melting out in the sun? I bet it'd be disturbing as fuck... although not quite as disturbing as 3,200 people dying for a mistake, and far less disturbing than Bush forcing hundreds or thousands of more people die for the mistake, and Congress not exercising its power to stop him.

I don't recall where it was, but there was an art exhibit done where a student artist made a painting of GWB out of those guys, or similar ones. It was striking, I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

there was one at st. olaf a few years ago
thirty-two one gallon clear glass jars were filled with a gasoline-looking liquid and arranged in a 10' x 20' rectangle. in the middle were a set of dogtags and a single match. at the head of the rectangle was a large wooden cross that had been stained red.
The symbolism behind the number of jars is that a hummer's gas tank holds 32 gallons.
It's not necessarily anti-war, but it is definitely a comment on our thirst for gasoline.
