		<description>[...] As clear and conscious as I try to be, I can still quite easily get caught like a stupor-fly in the world-wide-spider-web. I get defensive. I get hurtful. I make pronouncements and pretend that I know when I do not. I toss predictions into a chaotic system and try to coax them to life by sheer force of White Guy Entitlement â„¢ and unacknowledged attachments. The online/public realm becomes my world-spanning strap-on ego extender, hi-jacking my ready and rigid personality structure and using it, like our misguided friends at Sherwin-Williams, to Cover the Earth â„¢. And my ego is still too wounded, too confused, too separate, too invested, to be given that much power. [...]</description>

		<description>i gotta learn to post AFTER im done thinking...

but yeah...

on a whole next level, it really significant that they make paint.


&lt;blockquote&gt;
Henry A. Sherwin, 34, of Cleveland's 6-year-old Sherwin-Williams Company pioneers prepared, ready-to-apply paint by developing a machine that grinds good-bodied pigments so finely and evenly that they will suspend in linseed oil. Sherwin-Williams will go on to make varnishes and then enamels (pigments suspended in varnish).&lt;/blockquote&gt;

giving swp access to the home owner....

colors are light. i wouldnt be suprised if these guys knew what they were doing....

they arent just covering the world with paint, they are changing reality through color.

so although the logo itself might be innocent (albeit creepy) im gonna guess they had a vision...   and it seems theyve been awfully successfull....

&lt;blockquote&gt;From his corner office on the 12th floor of Sherwin-Williams (nyse: SHW -  news  -  people )' headquarters, Christopher Connor can keep an eye on the steady flow of barge traffic pushing along Cleveland's Cuyahoga River. It's a fitting image for the paint company he runs, which last year chugged along with 18% gains in both sales ($7.2 billion) and net income ($463 million) by coating millions of ships, autos, bridges, toys, computer shells and homes.

"We're just about everywhere," Connor says.&lt;/blockquote&gt;</description>

		<description>and word, the logo was made in 1890, socialist workers party seems to have been officially later than that...

and SWP also seems to stand for "Supreme White Power" although that must be new cause in 1890, that was still pretty much the way things were...

although it is interesting that the company was founded in 1866 and there isnt much info about either Sherwin or Williams around...  1865 was kinda a big year for the US....  and i bet alot of stuff had to be painted...  and dude didnt straight found the company, he made it from another he had a stake in it seems...

weirdly frustrating that all the info i can find on the origin of a company with 5 Billion a year revenue is a 3 paragraph company written history.

probab;ly cause of all the lead lawsuits....  which the company seems to have issued a report on its toxic effects in 1904 and went on to make lead paint for a long time....</description>

		<description>have you seen that bbc docu power of nightmares?

i belieeevve its in there, (although it might be somewhere else) some straight anti communist propaganda where they show a Soviet dude pouring a bucket of red paint over a globe....

very odd..



so when you look it up, sup[posedly some dude named George Ford (a ad guy) designed the logo, oddly enough the only George Ford (ad guy) that comes up in google, as long as i felt like digging, was Harrison Ford's father...

hope that helps the narrative :)

		<description>Ha ha! I used to work across the street from a Sherwin-Williams store. Every time I'd look at the logo  I would wonder what the intention was for the design, whether it be conscious or SUBCONSCIOUS. 

Maybe my interest in symbology exaggerates my outlook on the the hundreds of logos(sigils)  that surround us at any given moment.  Then again, maybe not. 

Where do ideas come from?</description>

		<description>"Is the Book of the Law a worthwhile read? What year was that written?"

The Book of the Law is the central sacred text of Thelema, written by Aleister Crowley in Cairo, Egypt in the year 1904. It's comprised of three chapters, each of which was written down in one hour, beginning at noon, on April 8, April 9, and April 10.

I would recommend it only because it can be read in a single sitting.

The Book of the Law
Here are a few interesting excerpts

II,21: We have nothing with the outcast and the unfit: let them die in their misery. For they feel not. Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched &#38; the weak: this is the law of the strong: this is our law and the joy of the world. 

From: Liber AL vel Legis - Chapter II

III,7: I will give you a war-engine.

III,8: With it ye shall smite the peoples; and none shall stand before you. 

III,12: Sacrifice cattle, little and big: after a child. 

III,18: Mercy let be off: damn them who pity! Kill and torture; spare not; be upon them! 

In my interpretation of the book, the SWP logo is appropriate.

		<description>Well If the could cover the whole earth with paint they would sure make a lot of money. I think that was there perspective. Unrestrained capitalism.</description>

It is, but it's pretty opaque without the commentary, unloess you travel in Thelemic circles.</description>

		<description>The thing about the internet is it's so hard to tell what someone means when you can't hear how they're saying it and watch their body language. And I'm sure, like you said, that even with those benefits people in real life will assume they are omnipotent based on one little tidbit.

I firmly believe that 100% of arguments in the world are to some degree based on misunderstanding. Misinterpreting intentions, or misunderstanding the simple facts and rules of life; one of which being the golden rule. If you don't understand the fact that you should respect others as long as they aren't harming you, then you're in a bad place, and that's what starts wars and ignites jealousy and rage.

There's a complete tangent, but back to your post... When exactly did the SWP become active? All the references I've found to the parties in different countries seem to show that they began around the 1950s or 60s, but is it actually a unified organization?</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;Itâ€™s the connections themselves that are interesting&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Exactly...

&lt;blockquote&gt;I guess what I mean is that itâ€™s very easy for someone like â€œpaint guyâ€ to come here and misunderstand what youâ€™re trying to say&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Of course not and I have no problem with that. It happens all the time online (and in real life) that people judge the entirety of your work based on ONE blog post, or one comment over-heard entirely out of context. 

&lt;blockquote&gt;I donâ€™t think itâ€™s completely irrational for me question your intentions&lt;/blockquote&gt;

No, of course not. Feel free. I'm just touchy about it I suppose because I'm so often criticized for it and it can become tiresome to defend it all the time. Nothing personal anybody! I'm just a little wound up lately.</description>

		<description>I guess what I mean is that it's very easy for someone like "paint guy" to come here and misunderstand what you're trying to say (but granted his comment was quite out of line). I'm not saying you should do anything differently, but I don't think it's completely irrational for me question your intentions, because you might well know something that I don't that would change the situation.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;I really do think that itâ€™s highly unlikely that this paint company has any ulterior motives in using the image. But as far as I can tell, youâ€™re not explicitly saying that you think they do either.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Whether or not the connections are intentional or not may be beside the point.  It's the connections themselves that are interesting ---or at least amusing.  Besides, just the fact that this thread pisses off Paint Guy so much makes it worthwhile exploring some more.</description>

WELL OF COURSE ITS HIGHLY UNLIKELY!!

And no, I'm NOT explicitly saying otherwise. I'm simply having a bit of fun speculatively connecting things together. It is a hobby of mine, in case anyone hasn't noticed.</description>

		<description>Actually, it was founded by Henry Sherwin and Edward Williams in 1866, but my point stands: Did these two men get together solely so that their initials could represent the SWP?</description>

		<description>While it might be interesting to speculate about these things and talk about causes that might have similar graphic representations, I really do think that it's highly unlikely that this paint company has any ulterior motives in using the image. But as far as I can tell, you're not explicitly saying that you think they do either. I think there isn't enough evidence to warrant a real connection between the SWP and this paint company; it would be as if the man Sherman Williams who started the company was purposely given initials that would represent the SWP when "Paint" was tacked onto the end. Unlikely. Also, when was the SWP formed?</description>

		<description>You folks really need to get out and find a life. All the logo is is a hope that a young company can sell enough paint to "cover the earth" and make a lot of money.  All the stupid shit you guys have read into this is a riot. Do you not have anything better to do with your time? Christ you people are morons. The fact that you take the time to invent this idiocy makes me wonder about YOU, not SWP. Grow up, get a job, move out of your parents' house, sell your Playstation 3, and support yourself and maybe you'll understand.</description>

		<description>Wow! SWP (Socialist Workers Party) are famed among activists in the UK for their zealous paper-selling at marches and their well-orchestrated attempts to get everyone holding placards with their logo on. The logo works well for them - just a wash of simplisitic red politics splashed everywhere... ;-)</description>

		<description>I noticed that logo after reading Crowley's Book of The Law. 

The logo made sense in that context, given the references to worldwide bloodshed, baptising the Aeon of Horus; RED being the color of the Aeon, explainable cabalistically, red being the color of Mars, Horus, War, Blood, etc.</description>

		<description>Its kind of an arrogant crazy thought about covering the Earth in paint.  Maybe the person that dreamed up the idea originally was buzzed out on something , or just in a very strange mood that day.   

As advertising jingles go , for some reason it reminds me of the Public Radio claim of their program , All Things Considered. 

How can all things be considered . ?</description>
