Well put. I can't talk to many of the conservatives I know about the art, movies and books I am into because they don't approve of the morality of the characters, for example. Well, *I* don't, either, but I read about things I haven't experienced and ideas I'm unfamiliar with. Many conservatives--like many liberals--merely want to read things that merely promote ideas they already agree with. I'm not interested in that, I want to see and read new things, and will reject the bad and take what I find useful.

Yes, with you - For example - have you seen Sin City - Awesome! Under the guise of 'Pulp', Millar had made a modern cowboy film about how you make moral choices when there is no external law. A must see - but I think Mothers against everything wouldn't approve. By and large I am not a film buff - love visual art and music. In all artforms discernment is the key and you have to be equiped with a bit more than prickly moral outrage.

the link to the guys arts website is worth exploring.

kind regards.
