“There is no longer a war in Juarez. Juarez itself is war. Juarez is the snake eating its own tail. Juarez is a stillborn city. Nothing gets out, and there is no hope until it destroys itself. It sits there, outside El Paso, inches from heaven, dying a thousand deaths and no one is even reaching out to it, no one is praying except the citizens of the city that have made it this far, living in the shadow of timeless, timeless evil. We’re all watching as the forces unleashed by money, governments, and ruthlessly avaricious men tear a place, an actual place on a map, a vessel of lives, apart into nothing. A vacuum. Juarez is the worst, and as many philosophers have reasoned, perhaps most necessary manifestation of the curse of duality. Without great evil there cannot be great good. Without great scarcity there cannot be great abundance. Juarez is the future, as well as its end.”
