DENYING THE POVERTY DRAFT-THE SOLDIER AS A SYMBOL

reports, July 9The Poverty Draft, Politics, Symbols, and the inconvenience of being human.
Even in times of war, the Soldier as an individual is of no consequence. The Soldier is a symbol, a simple pawn in a culture war. The Soldier is either a villain, or a Hero. The Soldier always serves for the honor of his country, not his paycheck. The Soldier is faithful, as there are 'no atheists in the trenches'. The Soldier is Combat Arms. The Soldier is male, he married a young white girl, and he has a baby on the way, whom he has never met.
The Soldier is a romantic ideal.

Stunning architecture to be razed for parking lot?
=novenarik
reports, February 12, 2008
reports, February 12, 2008"That library, to my way of thinking, was an abortion the day it was dedicated," Fulton County Commissioner Tom Lowe said. "I am a lover of art. I can even stand abstract art. But God darn, who in the world would build something like that? There ain't no damn artistic value to that library."
-- Fulton County Commissioner Tom Lowe, as quoted by Kevin Duffy's in his article in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, By the book: Buckhead library may be razed.
Essentially, a library that has garnered numerous accolades -- an incredibly beautiful building that looks today as fresh as they day it was built, is probably going to be razed to the ground for a parking terrace. This is being done in the name of incorporating public buildings "into a more urban-style project."
What is more "urban-style" than this building?
According to duffy, developer Ben Carter proposes demolishing the building, which sits in the middle of his $1.5 billion, eight-block redevelopment, and relocating the library to a future mixed-use building with condominiums and retail.
"Under his plan, the new library would occupy two floors above a parking garage. Patrons would gain entry via an elevator. An outdoor reading terrace is possible."
A reading terrace, you say? How generous.
Here are some important email addresses, maybe you could change their minds? Get yourself and others involved.
Tom.Lowe@co.fulton.ga.us..
Tom Lowe is the Fulton County Commissioner representing District 4, which encompasses Buckhead, Sandy Springs and part of Roswell.

Ben Carter is Founder and Chairman of Ben Carter Properties. He is responsible for the business strategy, new business development, site selection, retailer relationships and client partnerships.
John Eaves's contact form..
"This is an opportunity for the county to receive some money — to profit," commission Chairman John Eaves told the library system's board of trustees, of which he is a member. "But it's also an opportunity for the library to be brand new and relocated to the same immediate area."
In closing, from Duffy's article:
"Trustee Roger Rupnow asked Carter if it would be possible to move the library building. Carter said no.
'If you want to take that gorgeous thing and move it somewhere, that'd be great,' he joked."

"I am very careful to be shallow and conventional where depth and originality are wasted." -- L.M. Montgomery
Anyone who deliberately speaks like that should have no artistic credibility whatsoever. Just saying.
My personal favorites: 'I can even stand abstract art.', 'ain't no damn artistic value', and, in my opinion, the crowd favorite 'God darn'.
I poke fun as always. Hopefully this can be stopped.
