5. clearing it up...
Edited on Sat Mar-13-04 06:40 PM by GreenEarthAl
I'm finding a lot of people don't get it. I'm not sure how it got so lost in translation but it obviously isn't as clear as I intended.

Basically it's just supposed to indicate that Uncle Sam is attacking Lady Liberty. And trying to kill Liberty. Then as nuance, you see that Uncle Sam has become a more modern comic book action hero type and is pro globalization (wearing nikes) and that Americans still have this knee-jerk, irrational hatred for all things French ((our symbol of liberty happens to come from the French) and a tendency toward hyper-violence (and that our culture seems to have no problem with violence toward women again all of a sudden)).

That's all it was trying to say.
