About me:

Simple: The US government wants to build a 700 mile fence along US/Mexico border. We oppose this idea. To express this opposition we chose to do it through ART. We call it The Great Wall of Chinga. A project to bring awareness and publicize the fact that racism does not solve your problems, no matter what they may be! It only makes it worse. Artists have the power to bring injustice to light in ways only limited by imagination.
Walls, fences, barbed wire, surveillance cameras, guns and plain bad attitude only create hostility.
This is a universal issue that concerns us all, so we urge ALL artists no matter where they are from to participate.
This is an ongoing project and we're just getting started. If you like to participate or have any questions just drop us a line.
You can see more info in the blog, or visit: The Ministry of Culture ..

    From one friend of Howard Zinn to another — thanks for adding me. ¶ People hear only what they want, so facts alone won't wake them; they need inspiration too. ¶ This world's evils have a common root: Bullies, liars, thieves, & murderers — whether in school, home, government, or elsewhere — believe we're all separate, motivated only by self-interest, by greed & fear. They want us to share that belief; they use it to justify themselves and to discourage us from uniting. They use it to shape the world's political & economic systems that perpetuate war & poverty. Their real power comes not so much from secret conspiracies as from propaganda that we all hear every day and that we hardly notice. ¶ But you & I have found something better inside ourselves & our friends. It's in everyone, if we can just wake them; we're all one flesh & blood. Let's spread that vision, for until we do our other advances will be minor & temporary. ¶ The outcome of the ideological struggle is not yet determined, so no one can afford to be just a spectator. Join the movement, if you haven't already: get involved in whatever way feels right for you. Question authority. Keep fighting, loving, hoping, singing. Hand in hand, we may still be able to heal this world. ¶ I'm impressed with ideas of Lakoff & Waldman about *how* to spread the vision, so I'm trying to promote their ideas via comments like this one and the essay on my MySpace page. It's free (I'm not selling anything). ¶ The real war is between classes, not nations; so I'll picnic on July 14, not July 4. CLOSE GUANTANAMO BY BASTILLE DAY; PASS IT ON.
    ¶ Peace, love, hope, and revolution — Eric
