Statement:  Every time I opened the newspaper in early 2005, the eyes from the laser eye surgery ads seemed to look out at me. It made me think of being watched and how we all watch each other. Our world was not a happy place. The USA was holding the Earth in its hands which was a huge responsibility. We were being told that everything was going well and our country was in good shape, but a feeling of watching and waiting seemed to be behind those flowers.
