Holding a toy machine gun in his right palm, and Mr. Bean machanic toy on his left palm. When he arrived at the table set in center of the hall, he spit out tiny pink plastic soldiers out of his mouth, where he hid them all along the long knee march. He stood up introduce the toys as Bush and Bean, then asking a question directly to the intellectual community that – Are we reforming democracy or re-constructing fascism. He refered to his prior talk about the subject which related to some cencership of the art exhibited at this art center, and in relation to the government 'reform' programs.
