From out of nowhere...

Here I am getting near bedtime, tired and feeling blog challenged. Wasn't even going to write and entry tonight, just look thru my daily reads, send a couple of emails, and get under the covers...until I read this.

I find this story astonishing for any number of reasons. It is an interesting comparison to see what happens when one citizen puts a sticker on a pole as a method of artistic/philosophical expression, while another person (and a few close friends) wreaks havoc on whole cultures and societies with rockets, bombs and bullets AND exposes thousands of his very own citizens to unmentionable harm in the process, and is not held accountable, responsible, or even confronted about the crimes against humanity that he is perpetrating. Our system is upside down. Clearly.

Alyce's great website here.

Art. It can be dangerous work in these days and times. Ponder on that for a while...
