I've been using reproductions of WWII posters in my Solar Survival Show and at anti-war events for the last couple of years. They cut right to the point and highlight the seriousness of the homefront during WWII against the greedy silliness of the "homeland" today.
I even gave a set my favorite WWII energy conservation posters to Al Gore at a recent book signing

Shame the chickenhawks by shoving the reality of history in their faces.
It's way past time to get real.
PS: The Project for an Old American Century
(
http://www.oldamericancentury.org ) and the Propaganda Remix Project (
http://homepage.mac.com/... ) are reworking some of these posters for 21st century purposes but I tend to be a purist, preferring the originals for their jarring resonances across the decades.
Third in a series of WWII posters that have relevance today.
