Printmaker, teacher, social commentator and political activist Art Hazelwood depicts Uncle Sam, peeking over a high wall with coiled barbed wire, watching family farmers working their meager crop. Though done in 2011 the subject is one of the major points of contention in today's politic climate.
The image brings to mind Benjamin Franklin's warning from 1755: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Also apropos to this image is Franklin's observation of 1728: "If all printers were determined not to print anything till they were sure it would offend nobody, there would be very little printed."
