It won't be for a few weeks. I've already got one project on the drying racks, and I'm working on another one before I do this one. But I will keep you updated.

I'll probably keep a stack for myself, to hand out at OC get-togethers, and to stick up on bulletin boards in MD on my occasional visits there too...

OK, I'll take the PC advice to heart, and change some of the words I used.

However, I don't think the term "African Americans" really applies to this card, because I don't think there were many "African Americans" in Castro's Cuba, Hitler's Germany, Amin's Uganda, or Kim Jong Il's North Korea...

So what is the PC term for people of African decent who DON'T live in the USA?...

Should I use "People of African Decent" instead?

"Thinking globally", especially since the front shows despots of the world, I would think "People of Color" would be the more common term worldwide...



It is how the British designated "colonials" who they wished to deprive of the means of self-defense. It was also the term used during apartheid in S. Africa as I remember.

Oops... Doooh...

I may be a good designer and printer, but I'll admit, I'm NOT the world's best proofreader. Thanks...

Yeah, and universities used to be the forefront of free speech and defender of the Bill of Rights.

It used to be the goal of liberals to loosen the restrictions on the Bill of Rights (circa 1950-60s) but somewhere along the way, they got lost in socialistic goals and began to be lead around by the nose by political correctness.

How the wheel of time has turned.

I've decided to do a little index-card sized "mini broadside" for one of my classes. I'm going to print it letterpress, in 2 colors. It is printed on front and back.

What do y'all think?...

What do I think? I think if you get some out my way, I might strategically leave them around some of the colleges around here. :D

OK, when I get this finalized and polished, I'll make a PDF of the files, and will be able to email them to people who want to print them out on their computers...

I'll keep y'all posted...
