TALES OF AN ORANGEPEELER an archive of pleasures, wounds, sublimations & other curiosities :: profile 08.08.04, grumbly early sunday morning Spotted on billboard tonight en route to birthday party: "Peace is patriotic." Whatta dumb, empty slogan, like most slogans, so easily altered by a can of spray paint to mean something else the original sloganeers would rather not intend. "Peace" & "patriotic" should be incompatible but I suppose that "peace" can have a meaning that differs from the one I have, one that is not at all respectful of the needs of those with whom peace should be drawn. |
