    That's OK, she doesn't grok the amusements found in "zero" either. Clouds are clouds, never elephants or angels. Booooooring!

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    And for my gratuitous jab at Conservative Thought:
    You're welcome.

    No chit. Consider her world: no Gauguin, no Seurat, no van Gogh, no Cézanne, no Picasso, no Mondrian, no Pollock, no de Kooning. And those are just the ones I can come up with off the top of my half-assed recovering art major head.

    What a bleak place she inhabited. I'd actually feel sorry for her except I know she did not miss them and was happy in her narrow little world. Apparently for her, ignorance truly was bliss, but I suppose you could say that about most extreme right-wing types in any case.

    No wonder these people are going to heaven. Their lives are so dry and stiff they must have a reason to stay alive.

    Bot like Nazi type. They take enormous pride in their superiority, their mechanical industriousness, and the condemnation of those not worthy to occupy the same world.

    Meh... Stereotypical boilerplate. You CAN listen to Rush in the afternoon, go to a world-class play that same evening with no ulterior motives beyond beyond enjoying the art, and still be a conservative. I've seen it done!

    But, as stereotypes go, this is pretty well on target.

    Norton Simon comes immediately to mind.
