Aron "The Pieman" Kay became the best-known Yippie pie-thrower. His targets included Senator Daniel Moynihan, conservative activist Phyllis Schiafly, ex-CIA head William Colby and conservative columnist William F. Buckley. Nowadays Kay looks like he just eats the pies instead of tossing them away at people.

Manuel Rubén Abimael Guzmán Reynoso, nom de guerre Presidente Gonzalo (Chairman Gonzalo), former professor of philosophy, leader of the Shining Path of the Maoist insurgency known as the internal conflict in Peru.

The Dalai Lama who in 1956, feared the Chinese army would soon move in on Lhasa, issued an appeal for jewels and gold so he could construct another throne for himself. He argued this would help rid Tibet of "bad omens".  When the Dalai Lama fled to India in 1959, he was preceded by more than 60 tons of treasure though he had collected one hundred and twenty tons. Romantic notions about this so-called peaceful harmonious nature of Tibetan Buddhist monastic life should be tested against reality.  In 1956 the Lithang Monastery in eastern Tibet was where a major rebellion against Chinese rule began. The monastery housed around 5000 monks and operated 113 satellite monasteries, all supported by the labour of slaves.

The entire cast of Dr. Seuss' Horton hears a Hoot! from the city of Whoville shouting "We are here! We are still here."

According to the book while splashing in a pool located in the Jungle of Nool, Horton the Elephant hears a small speck of dust talking to him. It turns out the speck of dust is actually a tiny planet, home to a city called Whoville, inhabited by microscopic-sized inhabitants known as Whos and led by a character known as the Mayor.

The Mayor asks Horton to protect them from harm, which Horton happily agrees to do, proclaiming throughout the book that "even though you can’t see or hear them at all, a person’s a person, no matter how small." 

In doing so he is ridiculed and forced into a cage by the other animals in the jungle for believing in something that they are unable to see or hear. His chief tormentors are Vlad Vladikoff, the Wickersham Brothers and the Sour Kangaroo. 

Horton tells the Whos that, lest they end up being boiled in "Beezelnut Oil", they need to make themselves heard to the other animals. The Whos finally accomplish this by ensuring that all members of their society play their part in creating lots of noise so they are heard by the jungle folks. In the end it is a "very small shirker named JoJo" whose final addition to the volume creates enough lift for the jungle to hear the sound, thus reinforcing the moral of the story: "a person’s a person, no matter how small."

.. but in the case of the so-called 99%, the Marxist Wall Street protesters are actually the 51% who voted in the 2008 US presidential election and are similiar to the cartoon characters of Whoville, except no one heard a word they said... not even a hoot.
