And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

A woman snapping a selfie at a Los Angeles art gallery ended up falling over and setting off a domino effect that destroyed $200,000 worth of artwork.
"How are those "sculptures" worth more than $200.00 collectively?"
'Public art'. But since no one person has an opinion of the value or aesthetic quality, and especially as it's not his/her money. Bingo $200,000 for tat.
What part of "lets set these tall, whipy columns up like dominoes. Of course they won't fall over, no need to fasten them down. It's only art!!" sounded like a good idea??
The self-absorption of people these days utterly amazes me!
ReplyDeleteHow are those "sculptures" worth more than $200.00 collectively? And what damage was actually done?
ReplyDeleteI smell an insurance scam.
Yeah. I wanted to post separately:
DeleteThis is - ahem - "art"?!?

At first I thought "piss Christ has been knocked over and spilled," but then I realized: that "work of art" would be worth a lot more than $200,000.
ReplyDeleteJust imagine the difficulty in replacing it. Just can't find good quality pee anywhere these days, except in "art" galleries!
Wow. Just wow.

ReplyDeleteDefinitely not idiot proof.
