Steal This Sweater

1. Is this site advocating sweater theft?
No. For those of you born yesterday (or anytime during or after the Reagan years), StealThisSweater refers to Abbie Hoffman's Steal This Book, a survival guide and manifesto for those who fantasize about (or pursue) anarchy. The whole book has been stolen and posted online here, so be sure to take a look to see if you've got what it takes. Chris Buck suggested the website name after John Kerry lost the 2004 election and my previous site, KnittersForKerry.com became yesterday's news. Thank you, Chris. Abbie Hoffman was a radical with a sense of humor and a hatred of The Man. At StealThisSweater, we are not fond of The Man either.
"What's all this talk of dying for revolution? Live for it."
Not sure exactly who said it first, but it's in a poem dedicated to Diana Oughton, the Weatherwoman who died in a bomb blast in NYC in 1970. The bottom edge of the sweater says "Bring the War home" on the front and "All power to the people" on the back.
