homeopathic remedies for the 5 ills of society
the idea to create these remedies occurred to me shortly after 9/11/2001. it began with "violence" - based on the notion that "like cures like" (similia similibus curentur), i felt that perhaps an antidote could be concocted by making a tincture by soaking a bullet in distilled water.
VIOLENCE: dilution made from bullet soaked in distilled water.
CONSUMERISM: diluted bottled water from wal-mart.
DETACHMENT: miniscule dose of superglue.
ALIENATION: empty. CAUTION: extremely potent!
GREED: dilution made from coins soaked in distilled water.
with all the news of late, it seems that these remedies are needed now more than ever.
