The Warped Woodturner (TWW) is a local artist traveling his artist's journey in a suburb of Springbrook, WI (pop. 536). TWW's creative calling is to use a wood lathe to make useless objects from locally-sequestered organic carbon for tourists to bring back to the city to give to people they had to buy something for but do not like that much. His target market is the senior citizens since their vision is not as good as it used to be so cannot see the defects as well. His marketing jingle is: “Bowls as simple as their creator”.

Another failed attempt at social engineering in the works?

There is a fascinating experiment started by the YWCA going on up in Duluth to pass the long winter.  It was mentioned in a previous post about the billboard saying "If you are white it is hard to see racism". It turns out they have a web page and it makes it a little clearer what they are about. They say "It is hard to see racism when we are white because the systems and institutions are set up to look like us and advantage us.  It is hard to see racism when we are white because we live in a monoculture based on white northern European values, beliefs, practices and culture."  The quote makes things a little clearer. The billboards make it sound like you have to be black to see racism and the poor white people are going around in the dark and need to be told whenever they are racist. Just think how seldom you see people of color in ads or on TV or in music.


Their webpage is at: http://unfaircampaign.org/


The YWCA up in Dulute says on the web site "The core mission of the YWCA is empowering women and eliminating racism.  We are tired of not seeing racial justice in our community, and it’s time that white people stand up to claim their power and responsibility to change it.

This makes one wonder what happens to the YWCA's  funding when the next United Way comes along and the predominantly white community in Dulute is asked to give money to fund them after helping to divide the community like Walker did in Wisconsin.  As an example of how the experiment has divided the community the ignorant white peole have started to organize and fight back on Facebook (site cannot be found so the liberals at Facebok may have killed it). According to the Minneapolis newspaper there will also be a rally today in Dulute. The story says:  "The Supreme White Alliance expects 20 to 100 people to attend the rally at the Civic Center, an outdoor square in downtown Duluth, said Robert Hester, of Superior, Wis., who identified himself as a "council member" who represents the Supreme White Alliance from Illinois to the West Coast. Hester said the so-called Un-Fair Campaign that is underway in Duluth is "reverse discrimination" against the white race."
