a view to a gift

the windup and the pitch

the pup swings

1. Those offended by this gift might want to comment on the presence on the grounds of the GA capitol of a statue of Thomas E Watson, the man who lead the charge to lynch Leo Frank. For context, TEW is quoted as saying "in the South, we have to lynch [the Negro] occasionally, and flog him, now and then, to keep him from blaspheming the Almighty, by his conduct, on account of his smell and his color." (Jonathan Turley, the Shapiro Professor of Public Interest Law at George Washington University Law School in the ajc, date unknown)

2. While studying science, one of the principles we lived by was that the answer doesn't matter if you ask the wrong question. If we ask "to what use might this land be put?", I would suggest a center that studies bigotry and violence and their effect on society. A gallery with visuals might create a space wherein that which we abhor, but which has and does happen, might have light shed on it to dispel the darkness. We may not be able to eliminate darkness, but that does not mean it is not helpful, good even, to light one candle.

the last of the first series is from me - it's a graphic and will require imagination - the letters NFC in bold and surrounded by a red circle with a red slash through it - the letters stand for the phrase No Clue - it means down with people who have no clue such as this guy
