... from an 'orthodox' friend:
oh,

he doesn't want to offend "the americans" in their nice perpetual war economy

another thing

stephen colbert can take his leave it to beaver ugly american moral majority
and you know what

yeah, 9/11 was tragic

the same day 25,000 people died of starvation

and every other day

largely due to the policies created by people working in those trade towers

has nothing to do with first or last responders

so john stewart can blow it up his right wing

Kitaj did a semester at UCBerkeley in'67-'68, 
i was doing a masters in painting 
looking at my paintings for a seminar he says, 
"These are the best pictures I've seen out here (west coast), 
but ya know Bill, the heroics of these were done by Kandinsky and Mondrian." 
It still took me 2 yrs to stop, get a camera, self-learn & go... 
love it! Bill.

I do a Flickr gallery.
Out of millions of Flickr pictures it's impossible to know and find all of what's out-there. 
It is often inspiring and humbling to find-see so many quite-fine-to-wonderful pictures! 
In a few places on the planet my pictures get valued by chance-luck ... 
But we miss most of the beauties out-there!
Os with luck-chance for all of us, Bill

1973 MOMA show  A.D. Coleman   
Luckily after years I was just handed this review - knew it existed - but not how red bloody exciting.
Doctor Coleman speaks truths to and for many:
"... Now, if I were a photographer myself, I would be deeply Insulted by this show. I would be insulted that an institution so prestigious and powerful as the Museum of Modern Art would present, as photographically exemplary, a collection of random snapshots by someone who has not even established enough craft competence to make his disregard of craft standards a significant esthetic choice..."

"Just look at how banks like Chase behaved in Greece, for example.
Having seen how well interest-rate swaps worked for Jefferson County, Alabama, Chase “helped” countries like Greece and Italy mask their debt problems for years by selling a similar series of swaps to those governments. The bank then turned around and worked with banks like Goldman, Sachs (who were also major purveyors of those swap deals) to create a thing called the iTraxx SovX Western Europe index, which allowed investors to bet against Greek debt.
In other words, banks like Chase and Goldman knowingly larded up the nation of Greece with a crippling future debt burden, then turned around and helped the world bet against Greek debt.
Does a citizen of Greece do that deal? Forget that: does a human being do that deal?
Operations like the Greek swap/short index maneuver were easy money for banks like Goldman and Chase – hell, it’s a no-lose play, like cutting a car’s brake lines and then betting on the driver to crash – but they helped create the monstrous European debt problem that this very minute is threatening to send the entire world economy into collapse, which would result in who knows what horrors. At minimum, millions might lose their jobs and benefits and homes. Millions more will be ruined financially.But why should Chase and Goldman care what happens to those people? Do they have any skin in that game?Of course not. We’re talking about banks that not only didn’t warn the citizens of Greece about their future debt disaster, they actively traded on that information, to make money for themselves.People like Dimon, and Schwarzman, and John Paulson, and all of the rest of them who think the “imbeciles” on the streets are simply full of reasonless class anger, they don’t get it. Nobody hates them for being successful. And not that this needs repeating, but nobody even minds that they are rich.

What makes people furious is that they have stopped being citizens."
