"Give More: InsideOUT Writers Speak" (juveniles tried as adults,poetry p1

 "Give More: InsideOUT Writers Speak" (juveniles tried as adults,poetry p1...this is a nice thing done by hammer & ucla writing program for juvenile offenders (tried as adults)...some of the poetry they wrote...let us keep our prisoners in our thoughts & prayers...; we are ALL sinners... not just prisoners in jail...; yes some have done horrendous things, others less horrendous, ...some others drug-related offenses ...; but let us also remember the injustices in our society that sometimes perpetuate the criminal problem...this is something the hammer museum big-wigs (with their big money) need to think about as well..which is why this is the least they can do ...and need to do much more re social issues rather than spend all their time figuring out how to shock & offend conservatives while pretending (or fooling themselves) that they love the poor because they are liberals.

“Make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

 Colossians 4:5-6

notes from hammer forum re venezuela

my handwritten notes from hammer forum re venezuela...this "forum" is always moderated by a guy named Ian Masters, who is heard regularly on KPFK and has the intellectually-sounding British accent & cynicism towards anything & everything conservative & republican...even when it's a non-partisan issue...he only took a few cheapshots at conservatives during this particular event; the speakers on the other hand remained professional and devoted to the topic, not partisan politics.

re yuri ancarani, hammer exhibit 2014-15

 re yuri ancarani,
hammer exhibit 2014-15 ...

this exhibit was morally neutral...hammer was NOT trying to shock and offend moderate & conservatives with this display

photos, at hammer museum, early december 2014

above:  as you can see here... I purposely tried to keep it a distant view..but I think you can still see that there are some definite pornographic images in this so-called "art exhibit" at the hammer museum...it's definitely NOT the first time nor the last, but I voice my objection to it, and encourage others to do so as well. It's NOT necessary to be exposed to this in an "art museum".

 one small sign outside the door gives a small warning..apparently kids can walk thru here with their parents..
