All Men and Woemn are poltical beings striving towards becoming hopefully more human. But sometimes mistakes occur in haste to get to the destination. Several years ago, my Mentor and best friend had me read a book that dealt with War. One of the ideas that came out of the reading was that to name something is to kill it. While enrolled in this young Canadian University that was less than tw\hirty years old, I was fortunate enough to travel to D.C. to interview then said Congressman from the 2nd distrrict and one retired Senior Senator Bill Fulbright. Fulbright’s response to my question as the artist was shaping his bust, was “Wha does planning have to do with politics?” My visit also afforded m trip into Georgetown to meet with the retired founder of the University of Chicago’s Committe on Social Thought, John Nef. Nef turned the interview into the most interesting exchange iin that he was asking me about creativity and madness. His home was graced with a mural from Mark Chagall. So in when I would return to Little Rock and visit PHUMC where I grew up, the quiet appeals were made for enormous wrongs tjat were beomg imposed upon me and others. If one has ever for a moment been incarecerated or committed to an institution, public or private, one begins to discover the nature of systemic governance predicated upon the chain of command. Whoe is responsible I ask for when a patient or a convict dies prematurely when under the care of the state or private profit or non-profit organization? Silence does no one any good and yet I am reminded of Hemingway’s novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls. Life is not so funny when one is forced into poverty!
