For no reason at all, I offer the following text, painstakingly copied (warts ‘n’ all) from an old flyer I’ve got lying around:

WHY SAY NO?

Against the laughable legion of puritanical movie-stars, athletes, TV celebrities and assorted politicians’ wives who tell us to “just say no” to everything from sex and drugs to dropping out of school, the surrealists put forth for the consideration of the public these modest

IMMEDIATE DEMANDS

1. Absolute sexual freedom, eroticization of everyday life, expansion of pleasure uninhibited by bourgeois notions of guilt and duty.
2. Global supersession of wage-slavery by the cultivation of inspired laziness.
3. Emancipation of children from all forms of patriarchal domination.
4. Expansion of wilderness everywhere, at all times, by any and all means.
5. Destruction of Family, Church and State — the indispensable first step toward a pleasurable life for all.
