I have no side in the current conflict, but when one group has another pinned in a 2km wide area and there are civilians present then you have to take the right path. These aren’t combatants, even if they hate you. They’re civilians. Make concessions. Let them run for their godforsaken lives. God knows they’ll soon all be dead anyway.
Versus WAR. Versus CONFLICT. Versus RELIGIOUS SEPARATION. Versus SEMANTIC DISTINCTIONS

Sri Lanka has pledged to end the war in the next 48 hours. Think about what that means. 2-1 = Unity.

If you’ve read Orwell’s 1984 you know the importance of words - if you don’t have a word for something you can’t think or communicate about it.

I can’t wait until spell check recognizes it.
In the meantime, here’s the link: http://tankofthinkers.wordpress.com/about/

This US site provides an interesting method of measuring your footprint. I mean, I’m a big guy and yes, if everyone on Earth was my size we probably would need another planet. But if everyone on earth behaved like me we’d need 2.5 Earths. I’m depressed now.

I always thought most of Europe could use a good pressure washing.
Hopefully this doesn’t fall into the wrong hands, but imagine the possibilities for public art.

It’s easy to be cynical in and about the world of advertising. We are at least partially responsible for the rise in consumer culture.
But when powers are used for good, it should be recognized
Here’s a few shots of the process:
