Hi Declan:

Purely FYI.

The accompanying graphic is being auctioned at a charity event at Yurba 
Buena Gardens in San Francisco in October.

The Forgettysburg Redress

Exactly a full year ago events testing the legacy our fathers bestowed upon 
this continent, this nation s crumbling commitment to freedom, a betrayal 
of the proposition liberty and justice for all

Now we are engaged in a vaguely defined war, revealing that a nation, or 
any nation so detached, and so deluded, can long dolor. We are met on an 
already abused symbol of that war. We come to desecrate a portion of it, as 
a neatly packaged placation for those who never died here, creating 
pitiable tokens for those who live. This may, in pop psychology, give 
closure . But, in a truer sense, we aggrandize -- we embellish-- we 
cheapen, this ground -- The ordinary people, living and dead, who struggled 
here, are trivialized, lost beneath our superior power to dehumanize and 
brand. The world will forever syndicate, and incessantly license and rerun 
what we say here; while it will never know, or understand why they died here.

It is unfortunate for us, the conned, the consumer and the consumed, we 
here ignore the great lessons looming before us -- that, from these 
telegenically cleansed dead we make increased idolatries to that aggressive 
propitiation for which they here, experienced but an iota of the full 
measure of consequence -- that we here blithely empurple these dead through 
didactic commercialization; that the nation, shall trade platitudes for 
latitude, so that commodification of the devastation by the government for 
the corporation, shall forever degrade memory s worth.
