“Rich people who cannot be artists frequently try to identify
with artists in some way. Tome Wolfe has pointed out that in America today it
is much more fashionable to donation a million dollars to the Metropolitan
Museum of Art than to give it to the Presbyterian Church. The CEO’s wife would
much rather sit on the museum board than on the parish committee. Indeed, it is
no exaggeration to say that art has replaced religion as the leading cultural institution
in America.”

P.ostS.cript - I'm putting it down right here. V for Vendetta is the greatest movie I have ever seen. You don't have to agree with me, I don't want you to. But for me, and where I am. It is. Especially politically and socially, which, in fact, is pretty much what controls all of us. So I guess fully, this movie did a more than fair synopysis of how I feel in life right now. Well done.
