below loads of textile. They are unpeople on the street.
And yet a common roadsign broadcasts a contradictory message showing girls with skirts
above the knee.
Monsieur Jean radiates pride. He sees an analogy to his theory about feminism. Changes are imminent in Iran because this roadsign quietly erodes the revolutionary evangel. |
The Year 2000 visit yielded several new signs showing a
strong influence from several other countries.
