Propaganda not an acceptable kind of art? Shall we do away with pictures of happy children and flying doves? That's propaganda. Shall we do away with the stop smoking/drinking/vice and other pictures? That's propaganda. Shall we do away with advertising, for dear friend that too is propaganda. (runwolf13, 2003:03:27) 1. Happy children and white doves are not art, they're images that appeal to (mostly) parents - it's human nature to protect children and rejoice when they smile. 2. Why not do away with the cigars and drinks altogether? 3. I can't possibly imagine any, horrible, person that could enjoy that suspenseful-moment-interrupting-crap.
