I just saw a statistic that I found incredible: "By 1990, the value of the weapons, equipment, and factories devoted to the Department of Defense was 83% of the value of all plants and equipment in American manufacturing." ~Chalmers Johnson at TomDispatch. The people I know take satisfaction from what they make and are creative. With much of of economy bent on destruction, no wonder we feel discouraged. Mostly I feel like a deer in the headlights.

Clearly I agree the economy is in crisis. We need, the world needs, to find better ways to structure our economy. Stirling Newberry as a comment on his own post at The Agonist wrote: "Right now the international consensus is that the rich own the world and the rest of us just make trouble." Always rather a dreamy sort, I'm proceeding with the premise that the rest of us can make something good. What a shocking image of butcher-doctors at the door.

I'm very pleased to know you still own two of my early works and consider them among your favorites. As you know, times and places change for everyone. I have moved to Florida and my daughter, Darlene, has continued with her wonderful art in the New York area. I would love to hear from you more often as to your current interest in art: subject matter, style, artistic sensibilities, etc. I invite you to visit my photostream at www.flickr.com/photos/nesart to view my latest trend in mixedmedia collages and to post any comments, as well as to savor what other creatives worldwide are bringing to the art scene. With deep appreciation, Nestor Mr. Hard,
