<< As for Michelangelo sculpting for the masses... it's funny too. >>

Why do you find that funny? Please explain.

I am eager to hear your point of view. But do try to be more careful with your facts this time around.

Dear Mr. Poe: I've enjoyed most of the articles you've written for various conservative organs over the years. Having said that, I will tell you that I find the whole Star Wars hysteria utterly boring. I sat through the first one but could not sit through even very short segments of the succeeding films. Dislike of or indifference to the Star Wars movies is probably something many liberals and conservatives share in common. Don't take it personally.

No sir, you explain the fact of New York defecating on America and how this was deduced from some movie review that appeared in the New York Times.

Incidentally, I'm a Star Wars fan and New York is one of my least favorite places (I lived there for 10 years so I know the facts) but making the statement that your article does is way out of line - unless you can back it with some facts, of course.

And, yes, Michelangelo, as sculptor for the masses is funny indeed but not as funny as Homer's Illiad being about sex with a captive woman. I believe the guy who brought the Greeks over there happened to be her husband. Right?
