The definition of art is "It's something I couldn't do. Ever." <br />Spend your own $$, get a grant from some artsy-fartsy moron and knock yourself out. If you are an artist and you can't support yourself w/o gov't aka MY $$, you need to change what you call art or get another job.<br />Yes, I know how great art was financed in the past.SamenoKamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520614271345413014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-61309108130535561292010-04-26T06:17:14.862+01:002010-04-26T06:17:14.862+01:00There's an ill-considered general idea floatin...There's an ill-considered general idea floating around these days among conservatives that "conservatives" have to be special, so nice, so squeeky clean, so decent and loving that there will be nothing left to do but love them for being so darned nice.<br /><br />I beg to differ. I look at conservatives, which isn't me, in the same way Jabotinsky looked at or demanded others look at Israelis: No different from anyone else. Ordinary and normal people who have good, bad, and indifferent people like all others. So too with "conservatives." Just folk. I don't see any need to be an angel. It's the "perfect fallacy," that if one isn't perfect, then one is no good at all. Not for me. <br /><br />So if there are those who are obnoxious and post obnoxious things about Islam, it's a personal thing. Or, for my American audience, at personal "thang." e don't have to be nice to Mulsims just because. It's abut being a person of ones own self first, and if that's a shit, then so what! Any outrageous expectation is bound to be a failure that plays into the hands of our enemies. We're just us, normal and no different from any other group of mixed folk. I happen to dump on murderers.Daghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664271893389366772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19209018.post-50874976597448693632010-04-26T02:33:56.083+01:002010-04-26T02:33:56.083+01:00I agree.
