Raging grannies

From "Private Property, Raging Grannies, and Electric Cars" on South Bay Indy Media.

At first I thought this was a great example of the problems of privatization of "public" places, but the "protest" was against a theater wanting to review materials _to be distributed in the lobby of the theater_ not outside of the theater on the sidewalk, or in a mall's "public" aisles (another issue entirely).

E.g., I am political, I have opinions, but when I open the restaurant, I won't agree to have any other items, including political signs, in my store windows, because that will interfere with the branding and identity development efforts represented by how we plan to promote and market our business. This is communicated through how the window is "dressed." You don't see political signs in Starbucks' windows, or anything--just their logo, and people drinking coffee...

Still, check out the great photos of the Raging Grannies.
