...Conference of the Parties taking place right now in The Hague, Netherlands. The purpose of this two-week meeting is to establish the rules for implementing the three mechanisms defined by the Kyoto Protocol to help industrialized nations meet their reduction targets: emissions trading, joint implementation and the clean development mechanism. First of all, an emissions trading regime will allow industrialized countries to pool their efforts, buying and selling emissions credits amongst themselves. Secondly, joint implementation projects will recognize efforts to finance emission-reduction projects in other industrialized countries. Lastly, a clean development mechanism will provide credit for financing emissions...

"Apartheid" doesn't depart too much from this philosophy, except for the fact that a good deal of the time the proceedings resemble a trample-fetish video. However, in an era when Hollywood entertainment - "Charlie's Angels" included - is remarkably predictable, Mikels' work still comes as a cold slap in the face. "Apartheid's" oddly discordant tone, jarring juxtapositions, and the fact...
Blessed with a clean slate, the Crimson can now forget its recent slump, which proved not to be as fatal as was originally thought...
