About me
I believe you should never stop learning and exploring new things.
Why I use Clipmarks
Clipmarks are a great way to sample the web, and find things I probably would never have found on my own.

Photographs of War... or Not?
ruralart
by ruralart  Today 12:46 AM   
 What a complicated issue.... I can see the military wanting to preserve security and honor the memory of their dead; I can see families not wanting to be traumatized by photos of their loved ones; but I think about all we are still learning from photographs of WWI and WWII... and if there are no photos of the Iraq war, where will that leave historians of the future? Most of the WWI and WWII photographs were taken by military photographers assigned to document the actions. I wonder if there are still military photographers documenting todays "wars"?

US slipping in "human index"
ruralart
by ruralart  7-17-2008    3
 Living in SC, and doing art residencies in the schools across the state, I see the differences between "richer" and "poorer" areas first hand. They are stark, and SC has no areas that would even equal many of the more economically powerful states.

China Silencing Parent Protests over shoddy schools that killed their children
ruralart
by ruralart  7-16-2008   
 Sad that instead of accepting responsibility, and acting to improve the remaining schools, the Chinese government is trying to sweep things under the rug. How many more children must die before they decide to institute and enforce good construction standards?

 Amazing the way oil, the rain forest, shipping, and marketing developed and then may lose the banana market... not to mention Mother Nature's assistance/interference.
