Politics: August 2005 Archives

At one time, I honestly thought a wall separating Palestine and Israel was a very good idea. I had no idea people would create small islands of land, cut through orchards or any thing else that would make the situation economically unviable. On principle I still favor a wall, but not this one. I thought it would cool things down so that when people decide they can make a lasting peace they can tear it down just like they did in Berlin.

In the face of heartbreak occasionally great art is made. Check out this graffiti by Banksy. The last one where the girl is being lifted by the balloons especially speaks to me.
