...Durham, N.C. You know I love all kinds of activism. I certainly think blacks deserve to have something whether it is affirmative action or an opportunity that should be opened up to them. But at the same time I believe that people of color are not the only poor people in America and all over the world. America has had a hand in putting [black people] in a certain space. So the idea of affirmation active or some of the other ideas to give to African Americans is good. And I think they deserve...
...give only one thing to help a young man who is poor, sad, and angry, would you give him your book, some money or the Bible? -Ju Huang in Stamford, CT I would give him my book, because there is nothing in that book that isn't already in the Bible, but maybe I say it in a different way.

...Employing traditional plesetan wordplay, Punkasila speculate, often quite subversively, on other meanings for these acronyms: Tikyan Ning Idab-Idabi (Poor but Adorable) and Komando Pasukan Suka Susu (Milk Lovers' Force Command). For an exercise in semantics, the resulting CD, Acronym Wars, is ear-splittingly entertaining. And as presented at Darren Knight Gallery alongside military-style musical memorabilia, it's an intriguing cultural artifact. Elsewhere in the show, machine-gun-shaped guitars carved from mahogany stand sentinel alongside bespoke batik military fatigues, which Kesminas says are key "because in a way the project is all about camouflage." All sorts of things...
