There is this worrisome trend though, that the former moonshine entrepreneurs at the area close to the Russian border are moving into drug imports with marketing and aftersales methods specific to that type of business, ending a certain kind of age of innocense.

By the way, that could be an sign that the inhabitant is a meth (or “crank”) junkie.

In the Pacific Northwest states, the police started noticing that known crystal meth users often wound up taking cars and other motors apart, and spreading the parts on their yards, in a manic attempt to “clean” and categorize the parts. When the meth wore off, and the junkie became depressed and lethargic, the parts were left on the lawns to rust. This was based not only on observation, but testimony from meth users. The crank somehow affects the brain centers responsible for logistical thinking.

And I do agree about the allure of old industrial areas. I like to bike around some such districts where I live. It’s fascinating to see how some vibrant businesses just went bust. Many of these areas are as interesting as an archaeological site.

Afterall, these kinds of milieus are more prominent in Russia and perhaps in the eastern Finland, which is another reason for being uneasy. Typical eastern Finnish junkyard consists of 5-10 cars of one manufacturer, which are cannibalized for the spare parts for the car, that is still in daily use, various household and farming machines and everything you can buy at the surplus auction of the Road Maintenance Department. All neatly showing on your front yard.

I think it is really great, that someone takes the trouble to record the final phases of some old industrial sites and even finds out some of their history. Afterall, many people have spent their working life there. It is like some buddhist Mandala. Engineers and architects use the best fruits of western scientific-technological civilization and after some decades, it’s all wiped out. In the electronics industry, it’s even quicker. Probably all the Nokia phones with some of my handwriting in them are now rotting in the garbage dump.

I’m living on the edge of an abandoned sawmill area and there are plenty of places there to enjoy the aesthetics of decay. I don’t go there too often though, as the ground is probably saturated by arsenic and dioxine.

Where did the ‘American ruins’ post go? Did you find something insensitive in it? Was there incitement of inter-racial violence in it?

I think not.

I think there was some unpleasant views of the USA, combined with opinions of reasons leading to that condition. Why can’t you let people see them and discuss about them?

Phil, if this is your modus operandi, then you have very little credibity on criticising some ill points fo Finland. There definitely are many of them. I have also noted certain selective pattern of your activity, as you seem to go after our left’s politicians in a ways that seem to been taught by others here in Finland.

Phil, can we have your explanation?

Nice pics, eh? Philly?

Amerikka is still #1 even in the ‘ruins’ respect.
