| #3 Eldest daughter loves art, but she plans to study it at the community college instead of the university. At the University, one is trained "to make ugly political statements. At the community college, they'll teach me how to paint." My tax dollars at work. |

| #2 Until artists realize that mere efforts to offend, politicize, and disgust have been done to death, and that art needs to transcend them, it will be stuck in its derivative rut. A great start would be to cross train in the natural sciences, where they could at least catch a glimpse of the artistic mastery found in nature, instead of totally relying on their own short and pitiful reflections. |
