I DREAM OF MURALS
THE STORY OF O
I really enjoyed some of the “dreams
for Eugene” in the Dec. 26 “I Dream of
Eugene” issue. A few of my favorite visions
were: a hardware store downtown, more
awnings, increasing diversity, improved
public services, an indoor public market
and supporting local artists.
While these are all super great ideas, none
of them quite articulated my most prominent
dream for Eugene: murals! Why doesn’t
Eugene have many more murals? As an artist,
HELP TO GET HIGH
I see by the newspapers that on opening
day of Colorado’s legal marijuana sales the
price reached $500 per ounce. To a casual
observer of agricultural practices it appears
to be a classic example of “We’re from the
government, and we’re here to help you.”

The UO marches on to new conquest
in the Midwest. A little high school has
a logo similar to Nike’s O and is being
forced to dismember it. Even though their
O is maroon, the heavily favored Oregon
colorblind fan base in Okoboji, Iowa,
has to be protected from any possible
exploitation of the trademark that would
possibly tarnish the corporates’ good name.

I greatly appreciate aesthetics and believe the
more public art a city has the better. Public
art attracts tourists, brightens our (sometimes
dreary) surroundings and can be a great way
to support our aspiring local artists.
Seattle and Victoria have great
noteworthy public art projects (bus stops
and light poles respectfully). And in
traveling there I was amazed how small
public art projects greatly enhanced my
enjoyment of those places.
So Eugene, join me and world famous
street artist Banksy as we “Imagine a city
... where every street was awash with a
million colors and little phrases. Where
standing at a bus stop was never boring. A
city that felt like a party where everyone
was invited, not just the estate agents and
barons of big business.”

I personally care that Latin Americans,
for example, are able to stay in their own
lands. Because of NAFTA (Clinton) and
the war on drugs, which sprays herbicide
on Colombian food crops just to get the
peasants off the land, there has been an
artifi cial mass migration. The same goes
with Mexico and other countries.
We should all attack the so-called “free
trade” agreements (we now have to combat
the Trans-Pacifi c Partnership). Sen. Ron
Wyden supports these horrible, disgusting
“agreements.” Find out the details about this.
Information on them has been published
before often enough though that might not
stop “fast tracking” of them. Democrats
pushed through the Korea FTA two years ago.
As far as Kitzhaber making it easier for
rich foreigners to come to Oregon to study,
why doesn’t he worry about Americans
who are in debt up to their eyeballs because
of continuing privatization and tuition rise?
If you want people to have jobs, stop
mechanized robots from clear-cutting
and only take out the sick, dead and
overcrowded trees manually or with
minimal machinery. Growing hemp, too,
would help things.
