More comical than Lysistrata


               Refuse to have sex with your soldier boy , refuse to

    have sex at all with any Greek male ?  Anti -war women still find

    inspiration and helpful hints in " Lysistrata " , the ancient Greek

    comedy by the immortal Aristophanes .

             A modern anti-war comedy might try this variation on the

    theme of women against war : Make next Valentine's Day  an international

    Abortion Day for EVERY Pregnant woman ! And bury all the unborn babies

    in Arlington National Cemetery.

                  The right to life in this world has become a right to

    a hell of a life !

                 Consider the etymology of the word " proletariat " . This

    class in the ancient world had only one significant function : to

    produce and feed the soldiers.

                  Global capitalism has created a very similar class

    today- mass producing soldiers for slaughter and ignorant PROLES

    for economic drudgery. What a life !  Women of the world - just say

    NO to procreation !
