Reviewed an excellent new book by Raha Nik-Andish, an Iranian art professor living in Tehran who has taken great personal risks to deliver his diary of life under the U.S. and Israeli bombing. It's only 90 pages, well worth a read.

Grocery stores as a metaphor for capitalism:
- enough food for everybody but excess is thrown away rather than given to the hungry
- illusion of choice yet all the different brands are owned by a few holding companies
