Love Is All Around
I had to laugh the other day at a report from Spain.
Where lots of young people are planning to protest at the Pope's visit to Madrid - because of his less than progressive papal views on homosexuality.
But instead of rioting or looting - or setting fire to cars and buildings - the youth of Spain have come up with a novel idea.
A same sex 'kiss in' - which will presumably take place somewhere very public.
So that if the Pope's eyes don't pop at the site of all this Spanish snogging - then the rest of the country will stil get the message - courtesy of live TV.
Now that's what I call using your imagination - getting people on your side with a bit of lateral thinking - and good humour.
Which is much more likely to make people think and bring about change - than engaging in acts of wanton vandalism and violence.
