The Future Looking Back At Us
A Russian photographer as has provided us with haunting images of abandoned structures throughout his home. There were to be many different things. Mighty industrial complexes, a children's camp, a hospital that never got a chance to cure anyone. I can understand the artist's obsession with these places. There's a timelessness to them. They speak volumes about the age from which they were born. I suppose you could call them modern ruins. We gaze in awe of the classical structures in Rome and Greece and the castles of the British Isles because they give us a glimpse into the past. This Russian artist gives us a glimpse into what our civilization will leave behind to be gazed upon hundreds of years from now. While facinating it seems less breathtaking than what the Romans, Greeks and other ancient civilizations left for us. Maybe there's a lesson in that.

The problem is that while the US and Australia (the two hardest working nations in the world) are losing most of their jobs, they still allow anyone that comes to work. If jobs are to move to other countries, then countries that keep those jobs must allow foreign workers to work there as easily to where the jobs came from.
And don't think this affects me. I am an Engineer and in one of the fastest dieing fields of the past decade. I should be given the freedom to work in India, Pakistan, China or Argentina as easily as they can work here.
It's anyone that is pro-Constitution, pro-States rights, pro-small government, and anti-social programs that is an enemy to liberals.
They have this uncanny way of being to draw a line from anything to point the finger and someone "moral" or "greedy."
