Silk – That’s not what it says and I think that you know that perfectly well if you bothered to read the entry that was linked for your benefit. It’s a reference to the classic Marxist saying that the proletariat is the undertaker of capitalism — the idea that a community can not be oppressed for financial gain.

2nd thought: If they need to try soooo hard to make you look bad, I’d say that looks pretty good for you actually. If you’re really such a bad guy, they wouldn’t need to try so hard to make it evident.

all the best for the court case, i hope it’s sorted soon

I had been reading Zentastic for months, and your artwork is probably the least offensive thing! I really like it.

And as far as being crazy, isn’t there a “Chica Loca” who had been racing a Lotus somewhere that should really be considered the crazy one for risking her life racing when she should be a mother to her child… whoops that sounds really judgemental… good luck with everything.

I’m not so brave.

I hope some day we can both say: “igotmorelife!”

I’m headed off to 30 acres far, far away from this hellhole. I hope you find yours soon.

I’m gonna turn on, tune in & drop out
Shed this corp shithole.

A picture is worth a thousand words.

The reality is that people judge/make judgments.
It’s a human thing. It’s part of how we evolved.

To deny that humans make judgments based on observations is naive and delusional.

I do like the artwork. I just wonder what value it is to post the image during a period of your life when you are being judged?

Mothers have drowned their kids in bathtubs, hung them up by nooses in their closets or bashed their brains in with rocks.

After the carnage, all the wise folks say: ” there were all the signs that this would happen, why didn’t anyone do anything?”
“why did no one act?”

I hope this is over soon.

I dig your paintings a lot. What does it for me is the facial expressions of the subjects.

i’d hope that scienkoptic’s comment can’t apply to you, being an adult and where there is overwhelming evidence to contradict your alleged insanity.
