Your GWB comment-maker is probably so obsessed with Bush-hatred that they can look at a Monet painting......and see W's face leering back at them from among the hazy flowers of a 19th century summer's day... You could post a still-life picture of grapes in a bowl on a table -- and you'll get many different interpetations of the image. Depending entirely upon what the audience cares about.

And upon what their mind and heart "sees".

How true. We don't see in the way we think we do. Seeing isn't so objective and passive as it is subjective and active. We create what we see. It is indeed like Xenophonz says, the heart is projecting images onto the screen of the Cartesian Mind-theater just as much as the senses are. And we tend to see the things we care about.

So now I go from discussing politics above to pontificating on a theory of Art, can't get much more OT or bombastic than that. I better go back to work now.
