I’ve concluded that genius is as common as dirt. We suppress our genius only because we haven’t yet figured out how to manage a population of educated men and women. The solution, I think, is simple and glorious. Let them manage themselves.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre - Who Killed Sgt. Pepper?
New album. Matt Hollywood is back.
Stop being so anger-averse and stop making fun of those pissed-off “Tea-Baggers.” Too many privileged liberal lefty types are prone to see anger as “dysfunctional,” retrograde, excessively “uncouth” and generally frightening and unpleasant. They should find a way to get over this. Millions of Americans are legitimately pissed off right now. If you can’t figure out why and work up some legitimate progressive fury that reflects the real circumstances people are facing out here, then you leave it to the right to capture all the “rage.” I repeat: resentment abhors a vacuum. Folks out there are really angry and for some very good reasons. These “tea party” folks are often people with substantive complaints that are rooted in the alienating and exploitative society they inhabit along with you. Instead of mocking these people (ala Rachel Maddow and Keith Olbermann), real “progressives” need to take a look in the mirror and ask themselves why they aren’t doing a better job responding and channeling these complaints in an egalitarian and democratic direction.

Actually, I’m not all that interested in the subject of photography. Once the picture is in the box, I’m not all that interested in what happens next. Hunters, after all, aren’t cooks.
