A marvelous column, which I hadn't seen before. Thank you.

What do I think about all this? Well, first I think that the directors of the Tate Gallery, which receives funding from general taxation, should be locked up in prison and made to do hard labor scraping the rust off bolts for 20 years or so with nothing to eat but cold oatmeal porridge. Then I think Mr. Creed should be stripped naked, sprayed all over with bright blue paint, and made to run round and round Piccadilly Circus until he drops from exhaustion, after which he should be killed by some not-very-humane method. Then the Tate Gallery should be reduced to rubble by aerial bombardment, the rubble carted away to be used as landfill, and the ground sown with salt. Then the fools who pay good money to look at this "art" should be packed into boxcars and tipped off the white cliffs of Dover, and their mangled corpses left to be feasted on by dogs, crows and crabs.

Oh, all right: In a free country, people should be left alone to ingest dog poop, if that's what they want to do. Cancel the boxcars.

"Oh, all right: In a free country, people should be left alone to ingest dog poop, if that's what they want to do. Cancel the boxcars." Thanks. Because, ya know what? I'm a conservative/libertarian NOW, but I spent a lot of time in the TATE when I was a young wannabemarxist skull full-o-mush. And I have a sneaking suspicion that it was the WILLIAM BLAKE EXHIBIT that made me a Reagan fan. Seriously.
