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.

Anti-American Art: Another War On Civilians
Surrounded by the devastation of war, American soldiers carry off a bound Korean woman civilian while her relatives cry out, in another painting from the Museum of American War Crimes in Sinchon, North Korea. I'm guessing this ends badly; and it looks like it must refer to the arrest of a specific individual during the war.
I was just listening to a report on the radio about the "attempts" of the US military to "limit" civilian casualties in Afghanistan, which struck me as sadly ironic. Maybe they should try not shooting at people. But hey, it's war, right? It's not like these are American civilians being killed! Disgusting.
