[p class="hhh6"]In her project, called "Sugar Coated", Heidi made a life-size, gumball covered HumVee to "comment on pop culture and remind us of soldiers handing candy to children in far-flung countries at war with us".[/p][p class="hhh6"][a href="http://www.heidihesse.com/"]http://www.heidihesse.com/[/a]
[/p][hr style="width: 100%; height: 2px;"]Heidi Hesse was born in Germany, grew up in South Africa and Germany and emigrated to the United States in 1982. Recently, Hesse began to investigate and contemplate the meaning and possibility of U. S. citizenship. She, as many an earnest emigre pursuing the American Dream has done before her, began to read the documents and stories associated with the founding of the United States of America. Through her investigations, Hesse began to identify a significant gap between the rhetoric of liberty embedded in our documents and our practice of "exporting liberty" throughout the world.

Exporting Liberty is an examination of citizenship and its attendant responsibility. It is both a celebration of freedom and a critique of excess, an homage to democracy, and a warning that the comfort borne of privilege can breed a dangerous apathy...

Welcome to America. Would you like to supersize that?"

Ahh... Art with a capital A.
That is such a perfect piece.
It also depicts the sugar coating of this war by its perpetrators.
 
...religion has made some contributions to civilization. It helped in the early days to fix the calendar, and it caused Egyptian priests to chronicle ecplipses with such care that in time they were able to predict them. These two services I am prepared to acknowledge, but I do not know of any others

Makes me think of the old politically incorrect joke:

  Person a) "My mother made me a lesbian"

Person b) "If I give her the wool, will she make one for me too?

lol Gopher.

  I wonder, if you were a woman and drove up to someone that was being a jerk, while in the gumball hummer, would that give you the qualifications to invite them to blow you?

Because I'm jealous that when someone irritates me I lack the ability to use the term and it just has such punch.
