-"With love from Yoko, John and Ron English"

This very first image on The Bench is an indicator of just how fsking bad things are at the moment.

As we pause briefly on the brink of NUCLEAR WAR (again)
in an atmosphere of Domestic Surveillance
and Bioterrorism
and perhaps soon the double-edged sword of Nanotechnology

Think
about what you could do to improve things, to steer.
This is the world you've just inherited, like it or not.
Together we can make it more livable -- instead of uninhabitable.
We could even learn to live with each other if we just find good leaders.
BE a leader.
There really isn't a viable alternative.
Activate and encourage and educate the people around you.
Say what you think in public.
Express your dismay at the current state of affairs by any means necessary.
You have been warned.
