disposibility is bulldozing history

france is going away.

the above picture is a Super-U mall and the Chateau de Montségur. the castle has been there for over 1500 years and was renovated by the cathars. the mall will be gone in a decade. the vector is easy to see. i stood on it while taking this picture.

The American Dream has become The Contagious Nightmare.

The Contagious Nightmare is spread by marketing. marketing is a pathogen. it tells us what we want and it tells us what we need and it never ever tells us we're okay the way we are. marketing can only survive in a world of consumption. marketing sells disposibility because things that are disposible need to be sold again. some doctors do this - tell you you're sick only so you come back soon.

france, like most of europe, is buying the dream and sickening itself.

ten years ago i visited these same towns and there was more France here. that is to say that there were more stone buildings and fewer shopping malls. there were more trees and fewer fat people.

if you want to see france, you should do it soon.
