This is the fifteenth in a continuing series I began in 1981. I chose the postcard format because it is intended as an activist's tool. Illustrated History No. 15 mimics a newspaper, combining fabricated illustrations with factual texts. I'm chronicling contemporary social and political issues with implications for our future, as well as pondering whether the surreal has become the new normal. The topics include: Privatization of Prisons-for-Profit; Domestic Commercial Drones Invade U.S. Airspace; Deleterious Effects of Excessive Digital Screen Time; Bulletproofing Children and Schools As the Only Viable Alternative to the NRA Gun-Control Stranglehold; Environmental Consequences of a Projected Oil Boom in U.S.A.; Keeping in Touch Via Posthumous Social Media; War on Women's Basic Rights; and ALEC Writes Legislation for Corporations' Benefit at Expense of Individual Rights.
