Expand the GEC folder, and uncheck the military. Then you will not have to look at the "graffiti".
Also, at the risk of overtasking the folks who actualy have to do the work, I hereby nominate Purblind Horus' work for its own separate GEC layer sub-folder. I think the ability to turn these placemarks on and off as a separate block adds significantly to the impact. ...Click-a clear view of the earth...click again-the view is covered with the lists of the dead. No one should be allowed to forget how many there are, and that each marker represents is a real person.

With no known exceptions, the cost of internal trust, efficiency and loyalty is external distrust. The "us against them" is not an optional feature, if there were some way to preserve the loyalties and the tremendous benefits of internal trust without paying the cost of the ferocious xenophobia, then that would be just what we want to do. But we don't know how to do that.
