Albert Camus on small-scale monuments in Italy makes me think of Masato Ogata with Jizo monuments in Minamata. Masato Ogata talks about keeping small the stone monuments that face the see commemorating all the life lost to large-scale industry run by the warring state (Japan) and a multinational corporation (Chisso had factories in Korea). The conversation about scale is in a Japanese book I don't think has been translated.. _Chisso was Me_

> You can find many living and extinct creatures in the fan-shaped frame. The drawing illustrates the history and diversity of life. The center of the fan denotes the birth of life on earth 3.8 billion years ago. Since that time, evolution has given rise to diverse species, and the outer rim of the fan represents the creatures living in the world today.

Proud to be from PA!! The greats tend to destroy their TVs.

ペンシルベニア州生れのEdward Abbeyさんはテレビを壊して偉いと思うけど、 水俣の緒方正人さんはもっと偉い。庭の石でテレビを壊す[1]のがもっと継続官能な方法ですので尊敬します。 やっぱりしっかりしている人間は素手、 鉄砲などの近来(Modernity) の手段を借りて怠け者(lazy)なことをしません。
