CBC Radio 3, one of the few outlets that truly independent and high quality independent Canadian music of all genres often gets airplay in North America (aside from the always independent, as in autonomous minded, College and Community Radio) - has put together a neat little archive for members of the public to post artwork in the form of the ever iconographic and brilliant tee shirt.

I’d never noticed that slavery hadn’t been abolished. I’m 68, born and raised right here in the U.S. of A., and until a few weeks ago I thought that slavery had been abolished. Except, of course, as punishment for a crime, but what’s wrong with that? I’m a law-abiding citizen, and criminals do need to be punished, right? But with slavery? Shouldn’t hard labor (involuntary servitude) or even the death penalty be sufficient?
Then I tried to imagine the death penalty being abolished except as punishment for a crime.
Doesn’t make sense does it?

I’m sitting directly to the left of the AP reporter that filed THIS REPORT. I am pretty certain she can see the same things as I. She can look at MY PHOTOS from this Rally-in-Session if she is vision impaired.
I’m just wondering - how can the AP get it so wrong? I am tempted to look to my right and just ask her to her face. And maybe I should. She doesn’t seem happy to be here - that’s for sure. And I know I’d be happy to work for AP if they offered me a job — even though I already work at at corporate media outlet and know what the score is in these places.
