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: The People's Wrath Is for Electric Bills...
A demonstation of South Korean civilians and apparent guerrillas seems to get out of hand on this North Korean stamp from 1973. There's a lot packed into this miniature philatelic panorama: The workers, peasants, soldiers, and even a guy in a tie have beaten back a hook-nosed American GI in an explosion of firey rage. Click on the image to see the full detail of the people's wrath. I wish I had a stamp like this to choose from when mailing in my bills.
