It will be a fit monument to the sensibilities of it's proponents, barnyard animals and all.<br /><br />JGJGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456196709930408585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-56051860959792451522010-11-18T09:53:04.934-08:002010-11-18T09:53:04.934-08:00You've managed to educate me once again!You've managed to educate me once again!Connie Morenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14112860706520621190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-86124606016348901122010-11-18T09:32:16.863-08:002010-11-18T09:32:16.863-08:00Katella - I am dying here...funny commentary...and...Katella - I am dying here...funny commentary...and there is more than a grain of truth. Anonymous - so true. The Barnes collection is essentially being raped and de-valued by people who can't even fathom the artistic quality of what they are stealing.Davelandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10720475138513029144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29249921.post-49486742111990989532010-11-18T09:13:21.567-08:002010-11-18T09:13:21.567-08:00I: Looking for justice in the court system is like...I: Looking for justice in the court system is like looking for love in a whorehouse.<br /><br />II: Politicians have no shame.
