Handwriting on the wall

Amids the usual unimaginative graffiti in a public restroom was this gem:

"Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." - Voltaire

1. On DU too

It's somebody's sig line. And it's true.

It happens... witness:
A belief in the absurd 'Whacky Caveman did 9/11' line has made some people feel it's ok to bomb the crap outta Afghani and Iraqi poor people as revenge.

2. The best one I ever saw was during the Nixon era.

It said, "If you voted for Nixon, you can't shit here, because your ass is in Washington."

We could use it today, for *.

3. I put a sign on my toilet that read

"Richard Outhouse Nixon Memorial Toilet"

4. When Bobby Kennedy was

running for the Dem nomination some wag wrote on a coffee house rest room wall the following- remember that Bobby had quite a few children.

"If Bobby treats us like he does Ethel-then we're all f**ked!"

On a rest room stall wall at the University of Houston in 1968-

"This toilet has been infected with with syphilis courtesy of your local chapter of SDS diseases in the coming weeks, gonorrhea, TB...."
I can't remember the whole list but it was funny and unsettling.
