Look for the helpers. The good
outnumber the evil.
Let us remember these things
in these tragic hours.
Also let us remember them
when we are told
who our enemies are.
There are people who can help
all of us, all of our
human brothers and sisters
to see that we are all human
sisters and brothers. The people
who can help
are you and me.
In our country,
the good outnumber the evil;
this is true
in all countries.
There is no
us versus them. All of us
are us.
There is no evil
axis,
only this planet’s
axis,
tilting our home
toward peace.

Norwegian graphic designer Eli Kleppe:
“This project investigating methods and technologies of printing, as well as the materiality of substrates. Using a reductive process, the ultimate goal was to eliminate all ink and produce subtle, but legible typography. Combining lasercut technology with letterpress and embossing machines, I experimented with printing white on white and levels of pressure on the printing presses.”
Librarian questions quality of a publishing house. Librarian publicly criticizes said press on his personal blog. Two years later, librarian and current employer get sued for libel and damages in excess of $4 million.
I could not simultaneously prepare them to do well on that portion of the test and teach them to write in a fashion that would properly serve them at higher levels of education.
