Dow Chemical still claims Agent Orange was not harmful

The Mega-Chemical Conglomerate has launched a PR campaign

on OVTV (OVATION), “the only network devoted to art &

personal creativity with the best of performance, people,

art, music and film…”

This ties-in quite nicely with the latest US cultural party line:

Activism is wrong: art & music alone can change the world.

An example of this disinformation in other media: A local DJ

(on a rock station, no less) commenting on the numerous recent

demonstrations protesting school budget cuts that shook up California.

said, “We know from past experience that militant actions

don’t solve anything. Music has so much more to offer

in terms of social change…”

Oh, really? It wasn't the latest Minuet-for-Harpsichord

that won the first American Revolution.

And it won't be Brittany Spears or Lady Gaga

who inaugurate the second.

THE CURSE OF THE GREEN MAN

The Green Man

There's a strange story behind this sculpture of the Green Man. Peter purchased the sculpture, but painted it to look like his favorite metal, bronze. While Julian was working on the plaque, I decided to place the Green Man on his grave so it wouldn't look so barren without a stone or marker there. One day I stopped by and discovered the Green Man had been stolen.

I was furious. Purely as a way to release my anger, I wrote a curse, bought an ad in the local newspaper, and published the curse along with a photo of the sculpture. The curse read like this:

GRAVEROBBER:

To the person or persons who stole the head of the Green Man from my husband’s grave. My husband was an artist. He painted this Green Man with his own hands to look like aged bronze. I placed it on his grave as a temporary marker and you took it.

Only the lowest form of scum would desecrate a grave. If you have any shred of decency, you will return the Green Man to Oakhill Cemetery where he belongs. If you do not, you are thrice-cursed. Cursed once for defiling the dead, cursed again as a thief, and finally the Curse of the Green Man is upon you which will bring you misfortune, bad luck and misery for the rest of your days.

Return what you have stolen or never know peace again.

Someone from a Fresno television station saw the curse. They sent a team to shoot an interview with me, then ran it as a human interest piece on the news. The Green Man was returned to the cemetery the very next day.

Maybe there's something to the power of a curse after all.

REMAINS: Many old buildings, some restored some are still in ruins. Great historical site.

In addition to the ghost town, you can explore Mt. Shasta.

The montain is considered sacred land & many mystical

stories have been told about various encounters with

sublime & luminous beings there.
