The weblog of Vlad Spears: musician, science fiction hero, Max/MSP/Jitter gangsta, Daevl incarnate. Currently engaged in fast action on slow sculpture, I have an ongoing love affair with animism as an approach to creativity and an affinity for all things automata, gridded or digital.

Some parts of America still think for themselves, although I’m not sure we’re still “American.”  When someone steals a nation they redefine a nationality.  The San Francisco indie City Lights Booksellers & Publishers at Columbus and Broadway is getting the message out:

“Gentlemen, what are the four evils?”

“Religion, fascism, tyranny, ignorance.”

Yesterday Mr. Bush endorsed the teaching of Intelligent Design in American schools.  Last month he inked a deal to provide India with nuclear technology, in direct violation of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.  It strikes me as generally unwise to place the power to destroy entire cities in the hands of someone who holds a literal interpretation of religious myth as equal to scientific knowledge.

City Lights has succinctly defined the Bush doctrine across a wide range of policy.  If you oppose Bush’s mission, you oppose his “America.”

And if you oppose “America,” you’re one heartbeat away from “anti-American.”
