Crushed Architecture As Art

Those of us living in Iowa were reminded last week that climate is a very powerful force indeed.  I flew over the most devastated part of Iowa from the derecho that came through two weeks ago, and saw from an aerial perspective just how much damage had been done to both fields and woods. 
It is not hard to imagine that a storm with winds that could crush these silos would bring down trees, wrecking havoc with above ground power lines, and leaving thousands of people without power in its path.
It is moments like these that I really mourn having a government for the people and by the people.  Preventing further damage to the climate, updating the power grid, advocating for clean energy, those are the things that we should be doing.  Instead, the rich are richer than in the belle epoch and we are left without regulations for clean air, clean water, or clean living.  This must end in November.  Vote.
