a picture
this is something that i saw in the guardian the other day which i found really interesting and provoking, i love the question. also the artist behind it sticks empty speech bubbles on posters and lets the public fill them in. it is a really democratic process, and you never know what response you'll get. this is for james as he wanted some pictures.

great, thought provoking picture, and a brilliant snipe at the bible-toting bush administration. anyone who wants to see more can visit http://www.thebubbleproject.com/
for those not present on sunday night when the topic was decided, one of the things a lot of people wanted to address was the rise of the christian right in the US. we decided against that in the end, because it's a concept rather than a specific story. but judging by will's picture, i wonder whether the topic of terrorism calls to mind the bloodthirstiness and brutalism of the christian right as much as it does islamic fundamentalism?
and if so, has 9/11 acted as a catalyst for regression to religious ferment? before 9/11, didn't it feel like religion was marginalised and the result was a slow but steady progression towards global tolerance?
