Hello nettime,
Yes, and a couple of days after this thread started I was stunned to read on
my Sunday morning Chicago Tribune the headline Tribune Special Report: How
Do We Stop the Carnage? At last! The proper question in the proper

of this project?' and, very simply, 'why are we doing it

Today I went to the big immigrants' rights march/rally. I had enough to say
about the day even before I received word, just after having returned home
from the event, of an untimely loss for the Chicago art/activist world.

I think Ronda's telling is a pretty fair account of the low-priority
assigned to the outstanding flood control issues faced by New Orleans for
decades.
The other aspect of this whole disaster that needs to be mentioned,

evaluation of those.
But it seemed to me that Inke Arns's comments were more about courtesy (and the
lack thereof) than a diatribe against rip-offs. John Young's response veer more

It's far from the point of the forwarded article, but the use of the term
"Luddite" seems rather misplaced, if not outright Orwellian. It confuses a

casually relying on those cultural/social conventions as you do at the
formative level of Daria's "personality," you've conceded the questioning of
*those* conventions in ways that may subtly undermine the asking of the
