Theater. I would like to write a play about bush crimes on trial.
It just dawned on me --- in the middle of the night
when I woke up way before it was time to wake up.

Theater.

Theater... since the beginning has been a tool used by
man to express the most intricate, subtle and
explosive emotions and for illuminating societal
issues that need addressing.

Theater also serves as an impetus for an individual to
begin a discussion with himself... with his own
conscience.

Theater is also a way to create a reality that one
most wishes to create.

And I think of bushco, and all the crimes... the
magnitude of crimes against humanity and gaia both in
duration and degree. And how many of us.... millions,
maybe a billion or more ... people on earth who are
watching this horrid trainwreck.....it's like a slo-mo
nightmare that seemingly has no end.

Why NOT write and perform a play that says and does
all the things that society SHOULD be saying and doing
in response to bushco?!

Initial Title: "A man on trial".

Literally put bush on trial before the world court.
Allow the interested parties to question him. Thing
is, in the world court, you have to represent
yourself. It's kind of a St. Peter at the Pearly
Gates situation. You either make your case, or you
don't.

The jury? Have to think about that one. Who to sit on
the jury? The next generation??

Prosecutors? Who to prosecute?

Witnesses, oh so many witnesses.

Okay, Okay, it would be a long ass play!!!!

And it wouldn't make it ON broadway... but near there.

Traveling passion play... passion to the people!

5. Coming out of lurking to say......
GREAT idea!! Especially if one of the items he is on trial for is stealing elections. It may actually get a lot of the "uninformed" people thinking.

Think about how many people STILL will quote Wag the Dog when they see something that just doesn't seem right that our government is doing. That movie opened the possibility for people that our gov. could lie to us. Your play could open the possibility that Bush is not the good Christian savior he makes himself out to be.

If you need help, I'm sure many of us here would jump on-board!
