To fly, we must have resistance.
I probably have fundamentally antisocial tendencies. I never took one extracurricular activity. I just failed utterly at that level. Part of me still rebels against that.
It terrified me to have an idea that was solely mine to be no longer a part of my mind, but totally public.
For the most part things never get built the way they were drawn.
Every memorial in its time has a different goal.
I deliberately did not read anything about the Vietnam War because I felt the politics of the war eclipsed what happened to the veterans. The politics were irrelevant to what this memorial was.
