The position of the doubter is the first position, even the dominant position taken by the public toward art.
Those persons who have doubt about the “current gallery” scene, or status of art generally, are in the majority, not the minority. Most of the persons in the world do not consider most works art. Instead, they begin from the standpoint of prove it. Even though they concurrently hold the position that it is their opinion that matters more than yours. If so, then why ask for proof from me? Why don’t you prove to me that it isn’t art?
Of course they won’t seek to prove their position, although they will vote to withhold funding, even withholding authorization of public space, since I can’t prove them wrong. Not at least until they understand more than they are prepared to undertake.
When Debt Matters
The national debt only matters when you don’t have national power.
To the party that is out, it has become a key tactic to complain about debt, to use the household, or business assumption that bills must be paid. Simple arithmetic, that simplifies, that reduces all equations to something like, income must be greater than expense.
If this were the case in real life, real business, then no business would grow. Expense is not debt. And in the case of a country, the United States, this is false arithmetic. The wrong number system, and poor understanding of the power of the world’s common denominator means our debt is not our destruction. Not unless we make it one. If we flagellate ourselves into submission, then, and only then, it is our death. Don’t become your own whipping boy.
Like Cheap Magnets
Like magnets from the fifties, two kissing terriers, the parties fly apart the closer they get to each other. There can be no resolution between these toy terriers. Hatred is bred into them.
