NEW Real World Address for Complaints, Brickbats, and Donations
I Return to the Place I was Born
From my youth up I never liked the city.
I never forgot the mountains where I was born.
The world caught me and harnessed me
And drove me through dust, thirty years away from home.
Migratory birds return to the same tree.
Fish find their way back to the pools where they were hatched.
I have been over the whole country,
And I have come back at last to the garden of my childhood.
My farm is only ten acres.
The farm house has eight or nine rooms.
Elms and willows shade the back garden.
Peach trees stand by the front door.
The village is out of sight.
You can hear dogs bark in the alleys,
And cocks crow in the mulberry trees.
When you come through the gate into the court
You will find no dust or mess.
Peace and quiet live in every room.
I am content to stay here the rest of my life.
At last I have found myself.
— Tao Yuan Ming (Tao Qian) Chinese, 365-427

Over a dozen years ago, I got a rise out of another artist at the art fair in sausalito. We were going through the parking lot, and there was a FreeTibet bumper sticker on, I guess it was, a hippy van. I said, “yeah! I’m waiting for the army of hippies to muster up and go free Tibet.”
He was incensed. He thought it was a perfectly fine sentiment and tried to push it back at me. In those days, you could have a conversation, see.
Fucking Tibet. Looks like we’re all Tibetans, now.
Worshipping mammon. These corporations are an embarrassment to traditional American values.
Is it so difficult for those in positions of executive management to speak the truth about what authoritarian regimes are and that our system in the west is better? It is very clear if one takes off the blinders of political correctness.
From the HK protests to the craven corporate whores, one of this bodes well for Taiwan and I fear it will only embolden CCP / Xi to move aggressively on them and soon.
Apple. Marvel. ESPN. Princeton. Star Wars.
All pretty Woke, too. Any correlation?
