"IS STANDING HERE WITH THIS SIGN A RADICAL ACT?"

Message on sign:


IS STANDING
HERE WITH 
THIS SIGN A
RADICAL ACT?


February 9, 2011


This sign was in part a result of hearing myself referred to as a "radical."


People's interpretations/discussions of message
- it is an advertisement of myself and implicit request to come up and talk to me
- it is a challenge to people asking them to think about the question posed as well as about things in general
- in a free society such a sign is not radical; but how then to explain why one never sees such signs?
- one person asked: "In what sense 'radical'?; the word "radical" can also mean "fundamental"
Highlights of day and summary:
- many people smiled and laughed silently as they passed
- Austin showed me the edited interview and I approved it for broadcast next Friday

Time: Stood from 10:14am to 4:53pm with a short break

Other signs on the Quad: none


For a complete transcript of discussions with people about this sign (or at least as complete as memory would allow), see here, February 9.
