Wear red on Fridays to protest the Fascists
...Then there was the forwarded e-mail I received from Catherine Owens, an Irish artist friend and stage designer for U2, asking me to wear red on Fridays between now and Election Day. The idea, the e-mail explained, originated in 1940, when Norwegian mothers knitted red caps for children to protest the Nazi occupation....

4. Am I psychic?
I read the above post and thought, "What a cool idea. I'll wear red of Fridays and protest our current regime". I looked down at my shirt shirt and noticed that I'm already wearing red.

I wonder what the color red could symbolize.

Blood - the blood of our soldiers and the Iraqi people wounded and
killed in the name of nation building.

Red Ink - representing our national debt that sky-rockets as taxes
are cut for the top 1% while spending billions on defense
and corporate welfare.

Seeing Red - For the anger I feel watching our public education
system being slowly degraded through failed and
under-funded programs such as No Child Left Behind.

What does the color red symbolize for you?
