OK: the view from this side of the water: europeans seem to find it significant
that all the apparent president-elect has seen of europe was part of rome's
airport during a stop-over - and  i figure it says a lot when my local paper (in
dresden, in what used to be east germany) keeps a running account of texas
executions, noting as well which ones were of juveniles, mentally retarded, etc.
-
        so: although it's too late to send international observors to monitor
the fairness of elections in that banana-republic called florida, what does this
mean for archaeology in the long run: are we going to see widespread gutting of
hard-won protective legislation, "voluntary" compliance on the part of big oil
and other industry, or... what? should we over here start thinking about
organising support for our sisters and brothers on the front lines of the CRM
resistance movement?
        or will it all be business as usual?
