DDT, your insightful and comprehensive essay has changed my thinking on this subject. I can see now that any society which keeps unarmed security guards in its national cathedral must be rotten to the core. The only way to respond to such a government is to undermine the moral basis of society and try to bring about collapse and chaos.

I'm embarassed that I didn't see the connection between Diego Rivera's painting and a woman going into a supermarket and putting a chicken in her vagina. His 1924 Woman Grinding Maize should have made that clear to me. Thank you for pointing it out.

When you say that I support Russian suppression of the arts and US imperialist wars and the torture and degradation of Iraqis by US soldiers, as well as Big Tobacco's inalienable right to poison us, you're only saying what's obvious to anyone who's read my posts. But, as with Spleen Cringe's comment above, you've left out my support for killing cute little puppies.
