His Majesty’s Silence
Saturday, Apr 25, 2015

Val Verde has appealed to its own potential King George, and his majesty has replied with … silence. Justice, always pictured blindfolded while holding balanced scales, is never shown using fingers to plug her ears in order to block out the pleas from the governed. During our nation’s founding,...
