Great Advice from Someone Who Did a lot of Protesting.

A picture of John Lennon circa 1973 with a quote to the left as one is facing the picture. The quote reads: When it gets down to having to use violence, then you are playing the system's game.
The establishment will irritate you: pull your beard, flick your face to make you fight.
Because once they've got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don't know how to handle is non violence and humor. - John Lennon
