[Dialogue] wedgeblade in Apple ad

[opossum2 at att.net]

Carol,

I believe that the standard anarchist symbol is what looks like a wedgeblade rotated -90 degrees (point upwards) usually painted in red, and is an "A" for anarchism.  Of course, painted on a sidewalk, it would depend on the direction from which you approached it that determined what it looked like.

Regards,

Steve Rhea
