whether via surroundings the variety of permissible dialogue or reaping rewards at once as
financiers and brands. the result's a beautiful indictment of our
violent global and a strong critique of the methods during which violence is
reproduced each day, even if on the optimum degrees of the country or in
the inner most recesses of the mind.
