Warning! Disappointing language!

Xeni waxes concisely on this thing we call blog
"Blogs democratize ideas.
They give an almost magical volition
to words, images, and sounds.
They make art available to new audiences.
Unheard voices become accessible
in a way that wasn't possible before.
And that is a good thing."

Theaters of the 13th Dimension

"Mars Tokyo is a recluse/artist living in North Dakota.
Little is known of her background
and no one has ever taken a photograph of her,
but it is believed
that she was born in Hiroshima
at the time of the atomic bomb.
Ms. Tokyo creates her miniature toy theaters
in complete solitude then mails them
to her dear friend in Baltimore, S Mericle.
Mericle documents the theaters
in photo and maintains this web site."

A Soldier's Declaration


I am making this statement
as an act of willful defiance of military authority,
because I believe that the war
is being deliberately prolonged
by those who have the power to end it.

I am a soldier,
convinced that I am acting on behalf of soldiers.
I believe that this war,
upon which I entered as a war of defense and liberation,
has now become a war of aggression and conquest.
I believe that the purposes
for which I and my fellow-soldiers entered upon this war
should have been so clearly stated
as to have made it impossible to change them,
and that, had this been done,
the objects which actuated us
would now be attainable by negotiation.

I have seen and endured the sufferings of the troops,
and I can no longer be a party to prolong these sufferings
for ends which I believe to be evil and unjust.

I am not protesting against the conduct of the war,
but against the political errors and insincerities
for which the fighting men are being sacrificed.

On behalf of those who are suffering now
I make this protest
against the deception which is being practiced on them;
also I believe that I may help to destroy the callous complacence
with which the majority of those at home
regard the continuance of agonies
which they do not share,
and which they have
not sufficient imagination
to realize.
