yeah those are the immortal words of chairman Mao, who didn't apparently mean them so much (visualize the photo of him toasting president Nixon in Beijing while u.s. bombs rained on Hanoi). anyway, as u.s. special forces carry out continuing attacks on Somalia and as president Bush announces his escalation of the war/occupation of Iraq with a new campaign of urban repression and warfare these words need to be repeated.
sigh.
Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.
