Why post under the name ...Oh man another communist. Why post under the name Socrates? That's a little Eurocentric.<br /><br />"Political Correctness is cultural Marxism. It is Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms.<br />...<br />Indeed, all ideologies are totalitarian because the essence of an ideology (I would note that conservatism correctly understood is not an ideology) is to take some philosophy and say on the basis of this philosophy certain things must be true – such as the whole of the history of our culture is the history of the oppression of women. Since reality contradicts that, reality must be forbidden. It must become forbidden to acknowledge the reality of our history. People must be forced to live a lie"<br /><br />http://www.academia.org/the-origins-of-political-correctness/sharprmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04728604103968258013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-6812769134911458482010-08-16T07:01:06.167-04:002010-08-16T07:01:06.167-04:00Enjoy your writings very much, they have been very...Enjoy your writings very much, they have been very useful, and very informing, if I wonted to know about another about watercolor or pastels I would go to another site.

That confidence and experience seems to give you space to share and teach and joke on your own terms without some fear-based need to elevate what you do by diminishing other peoples work. Like Bill, I have the same philosophical problem with ARC; although I have sent many people there and have followed it almost since it's inception, I can't enjoy it fully or feel particularly good about a lot I've read there. I don't think a lot of the realist teachers and 'experts' I've run across understand that there are thousands of people like myself who appreciate a lot of work we've seen from, say, Giotto to Seville. While we are trying to learn to paint, being told our interest or appreciation for that work is misguided or even "stupid", creates a problematic existence for us. The representational painting world needs more teachers like yourself who let their expertise shine while also respecting other peoples subjective realities in terms of what they appreciate, even if you don't see it the same way. I wonder if you realize just how important and rare that quality you exhibit IS in an expert realist teacher in 2010. Much respect.MCGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829336755724862105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5682081471599286551.post-75310327449098668622010-08-13T01:33:55.654-04:002010-08-13T01:33:55.654-04:00Debra;
