There’s no barbed wire around West Baltimore or around East Baltimore‚ around Pimlico‚ the areas in my city that have been utterly divorced from the American experience that I know. But there might as well be. We’ve somehow managed to march on to two separate futures and I think you’re seeing this more and more in the west. I don’t

George Bunkall Art after War: The Road to Modernism An idea‚ regardless of the intention‚ is the most powerful weapon we humans have at our disposal. It is not the guns‚ medicine or manpower that conquers a nation or settles social turmoil‚ but the influence of the ideas behind them and in some cases the propaganda.
