BUDWEISER BOYCOTT
Anheuser-Busch, makers of Budweiser, the "King of Beers", discriminates in its hiring policies. In Newark, N.J., where there's an 80% non-white population, the Bud brewery hires 1% non-white employees. Don't buy Anheuser Busch products!
When you have, by your model, taught the world to see its problem and the clearly designed model of its solution, the world, weary of its artificially induced dilemmas, will suddenly vote for your LIVINGRY, forsaking the obsolete KILLINGRY, as the prime, common wealth regenerating preoccupation.
Buckminster Fuller
REVOLUTIONARY LETTER #36
Geography, U.S.A.
the east edge is megalopolis, is Washington, D.C., spread out 800 miles, ecology totally fucked up, even the brothers there do not completely believe that they can win; the west edge is langorous w/wealth, there venison is brought down from the hills & figs & wine from abandoned orchards, the sisters raise their bastard young on welfare checks and rotten sprayed vegetables, talk 'free', talk end of money, for them the war is over, all the wars; the middle is hardly heard from yet, it is stirring, stretching muscles, bare bones of continent, eternal progression of young barbarians huge boiling meat-fed hordes who can't be taught there's anything to lose, angelic hordes whose unholy yell is gonna shake us all
