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.

The face of racism
This picture was in the Times today. It shows an Israeli "settler" casually assaulting a Palestinian woman in Hebron, on the West Bank. It reminds me of those pictures from the 1950s and 1960s of white crackers casually spitting on black civil rights marchers in the south. Simply horrifying.
