Accidental by Zolton
The pub is generally a quiet place, but the girls room seems to be a place to express anger in private. There is plenty of graffiti to read on why people should not move to our state and how everyone can go to hell. It doesn’t really fit with the atmosphere. Accidental Gun Death is a local punk band. Someone later added the lovely sticker on the seat. Technical process… / This is a photo I took into Photoshop. I adjusted the Hue/Saturation level to brighten in up. Then I adjusted with selective color until I was happy with it.

Bringer of Liberty by H M Bascom
“In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.” Mark Twain Liberty requires the blood of innocents. FEATURED by C.O.R.E.

D.C. Protest II by Christopher Barker
During a relatively peaceful 2002 protest against the World Bank in Washington, D.C., anti-war demonstrators began to change the situational climate of the march. Tensions between protesters and police, who were expecting a violent demonstration, started to rise. Police began to arrest everyone that they managed to surround inside Pershing Park, guilty, as well as innocent bystanders alike. These demonstrators were pulled from the crowd, handcuffed and thrown on an awaiting Metro bus. No one was read their rights as bystanders looked on in horror.

Electric-Toilet-Training by Trucker
There just to be an old cliche I remember from the fifties about soviet Russia that went “there are three classes of people in Russia, those that are in prison, those that just got out of prison and, those that are on there way to prison”. Well after a number of years on this planet I have come to understand that in reality this curious cliché really applies to just about everyone everywhere in the world. And as most typified in the “civilized” world, justice is really only for the rich (or those with the biggest guns). The largest industry in the world is the building of prisons and there upkeep. This is of course only applies to countries where systematic summery execution is not state of the art. Anyway the point of this dialog is supposed to illustrate the sad state of the lack of sanitation in the world today. I’m a little put off by this when I am constantly reminded that most of the world goes to bed hungry anyway. Dysentery and rampant disease, war, puppet oligarchies, and continuous extortion of the poor to satisfy the Conspicuous Consumption of the elite and even there pontifical attitudes of pointing out minor atrocities of inequities while driving home in there gas guzzlers, makes me want to throw up. How sanctimonious, how self-serving, how much BULL can one planet sustain while throwing up tons of methane, that really creates global warming, so that they can have (in the end) a chicken sandwich or, a burger, stuffing there fat, obese faces, while the rest of the world (the majority) languish in malnutrition. Awhile ago John Dunn reminded us, truly, to “Ask not for whom the bell tolls” and that “No man is an Island”. I am sorry that this has all come to a worldview Charles Dickens novel.

Eight Ball, Corner Pocket... by Sam Dantone
I just want some alcohol and anonymity… I just want to be loved… I just want it to be closing time… I just want it to never be closing time… I just want to make this shot… Sam Dantone P.S. This piece is 100% #2 pencil. ... and just for the record, this and many of my pieces, like this, are purely from my head. I rarely use reference to get my images. I like to test myself and see how much detail I can get out of my memory and imagination…

Dual by Marie Monroe
dedicated to those who are trapped between the worlds of compulsion & obsession and the hatred of them. The abuse of oxycodone products such as OxyContin has become so prevalent that officials in Kentucky are describing it as an epidemic. The number of patients seeking treatment for oxycodone addiction in Kentucky increased 163 percent, from 103 patients in FY1998 to 134 patients in FY1999 and to 271 patients in FY2000. By October 1999 several physicians had established pain clinics in southeastern Kentucky and were writing several hundred prescriptions for OxyContin on a daily basis. The Kentucky State Police report that OxyContin is more popular than cocaine in eastern portions of the state. / National Drug Intelligence Center / Kentucky Drug Threat Assessment / July 2002 This information is 7 years old. There is no reason to believe that numbers have declined since no new interventions have been established and addiction in families creates more generations of addiction.

Networking by Marie Monroe
people die. the television networks portray death and violence as daily meat and potatoes. consequently, as viewers we have a skewed vision of how horrible the world is. we believe that strangers are killing strangers because we don’t get the backstory. when strangers killing strangers pervades the mindset, we are alienated and fearful of each other. we live in fear of the unforeseeable stranger assault. we look over there while the danger is over here. yes, there is stranger danger as we teach our children, but the people likely to harm children are well known to the child victims. —for all my child clients who have died at home and who continue to fear those that ‘love’ them.

About This Group
A group for unorthodox or progressive points of view that might be considered ‘alternative’, ‘subversive’, ‘independent’ or ‘liberal’ in the context of life in the United States, where conventional ideas tend to dominate society. I have opted to make this a global group because I believe that an exclusively USA member base perpetuates the Americentric focus that exists today in the United States. I feel that different perspectives and positions concerning the United States of America should have an opportunity to be expressed and heard. As moderator, I still have the final say on what will be accepted – you must follow the redbubble guidelines as to what is acceptable on this site
Guidelines:
- please only 1 entry per week allowed
- everyone is welcome to join
- you must describe what media was used for artwork / photography or what style was used for writing (please be specific)
