blog.washingtonpost.com/offbeat/2006/09/peace_for_sex.html Peace For Sex Perhaps inspired by "Lysistrata" several dozen wives of gang members in Pereira, Colombia have initiated a moratorium on conjugal rights until their husbands put down their guns. The so called "cross legged strike" is backed not only by the mayor's office but also by a rap protest anthem. Pereira has Colombia's highest murder rate, and according to government surveys gang members list having sex as their favorite activity. Regardless of the outcome, this may be an opportune moment to invest in Colombian pornography. WTF? over? |
You mean that play Lysistrata? The local peacenicks were performing that play as part of their little protest. They didn't like it when I pointed out how Lysistrata doesn't actually condemn all war, and explicitly praises wars of liberation.
