The fact the HC, Reg and Al seem to have identical views on art should be enough to give HC and Reg pause.“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Abolition of Man

For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio

My favorite museum in the DC area is the by a wide margin is the Air & Space Museum. My least favorite is the Smithsonian Art Museum. This should give a pretty good insight into my tastes. Now, the current discussion about OMG someone doesn't think paintings are SUPER FASCINATING *aneurysm* is amusing, but quickly getting boring. If I don't find it interesting, the opinion of a total imbecile on poly (here's looking at you molly bloom) is not going to change that.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
