Free Society

Part of the Global Perspectives on War and Peace Collection.

An art piece that criticizes state control and repression in “free” societies, contrasting images such as people at cocktail parties with police beatings. In the opening, Pat Robertson quotes Romans XIII, “The man who wields the sword wields it not in vain, because he is a minister of God,” and then concludes, “In a free society, the police and the military are God’s special envoys.”
