Chain letters: I remember getting one when I was in about the 5th grade. I was to send post cards to 5 people on a list, then send out the chain letter, and in weeks I would get hundreds of postcareds from all over the world. I sent my cards, and the letters. You can guess how many postcards I got: zero.

My wife still gets lots of email chain letters with overly supersticious/“religious” memes — say these prayers, forward this letter. If you do, health and prosperity. If you don't, little Joey in the St. Jude's Children's hospital will die.

I am afraid that my wife may be a mass murderer, no that I think about it. . .

As to the wearing of red. . . somehow that seems too forced to me. These movements spring up organically. Like the peace symbol in the 60's, yknow? I don't know if red will catch on — we're more of a bumper-sticker than a clothing color society when it comes to showing our stripes. However, I'll wear a red t shirt next friday and I'll keep my eyes open.
