Which brings me to another point. I went to a really nice museum in Antwerp and they tried to blend modern art and art from this period. Let me just say that there is a need for some psychiatric meds in this city. Apparently a dead dog wearing a party hat with confetti all around is "art." If that's art, I see it all the time on the way to work sans the party hat. It gets worse. Then I see ...[text shortened]... og wearing a party hat is just too much. I'll have more to say about this exhibit later.[/b]For me it's impossible to look at these dead dogs as "art". I can imagine that someone had to euthanize his dog because it was sick and has a lot of grief about it. Suppose that this person goes to the museum two months later and sees his dog hanging on a meat hook with a party hat on it's head. It's good to get a heart attack. Where is the respect for the dead creatures?

Where's the respect in ignoring the problem or pretending it isn't there?
OK, moving along. Is it my imagination or is London the fashion disaster capital of the world? I expected to see a little punk. I did. I had the impression that a lot of people never got any attention as children from their parents so they are making up for it now. For crying out loud it's 36C. so there's no need to wear long johns under your dress.
Originally posted by PalynkaYou are right that it might be a way to make people aware of the problem that many animals are being mistreated, but anyway, it wasn't on the right place to see these dead dogs and 10 meters further you saw a Rubens or a Van Gogh or Ensor. It isn't right to mix these different kinds of "art".

Probably something to do with the average American having no sense of environmental conservation and buying cars, to commute themselves from A to B, which get similar mileage to your average tiger tank. Guzzling fuel at a rate that is not only destroying the planet, but also the worlds oil reserves.
Having a gas station on every corner isn't necessary ...[text shortened]... n of a decadent culture that is intent on destroying itself and bringing everyone else with it.
