on a lighter note..
i hear the Getty Villa in Malibu is opening next January. tickets are going to be available from november. ( the best thing is admission is FREE) the museum at the villa will be focusing on the study of the arts and cultures of ancient Greece, Rome, and Etruria. The villa should provide a fabulous setting and the gallery themes will include Gods and Goddesses, Monsters and Minor Deities and suchlike. Oh how yummy it all sounds.
The collection of the main Getty Museum ranges from pre-20th-century European paintings, drawings, illuminated manuscripts, sculpture, and decorative arts; and includes nineteenth and twentieth century American and European photographs. They do currently have a small selection of classical antiquities.
is this for sale. If it is I wouldn’t mind buying it…
you mean the Villa? or my blog..heh heh!
Villa of course. Your blog is too leftist for my taste.
aha!
i don’t think the Villa is for sale IC. well you could try asking the J.Paul Getty Foundation. somehow i don’t think so…but hey! its worth a try isn’t it?
“( the best thing is admission is FREE)â€Â
interesting to know that if someone might say that “since that they still maintained the property as ‘Getty villa’ and his/her appearance there meaning that ‘free promotion’ been made, then there is ‘trading exchange’ was took place for real, and therefore it is the facts that, it is not a ‘free admission’ but fully ticketed.â€Â
My plan is to pull the villa down and construct a multi-level Wallmart store in its place. The villa symbolizes anceint monarchy, ie, dominance of state of over man and hence it needs to be pulled down. A Wallmart store in its place will be fitting as it will symbolize freedom and capitalism- the two ideals which are the very basic of human values.
i dont like dominance of the State over man either. in any case symbolism is all relative.
and why do you think Walmart isn’t dominance of the US state over man? you are a silly! the US state seeks to ‘impose’ ( by means of ‘democracy’ - read gun point) ‘its’ vision - i.e. the vision of its state of its particular model of economic determinism over everyone else.
domination of state over man.
p.s. IC is in favour of the death penalty. the death penalty is legitimizing violence in the name of the State.
Yes I am proudly in favor of death penality for mass murderers, perverts, genocidal maniacs and the kind of people who are a real threat to the world.
You Europeans live in strange Utopian world. You should venture out of your cloistered cocoon and see for yourself what a big bad world we live in. Evil exists. there are some evil people in the world. And the only way to deal with these evil people is that they should be given a just trail at the end of which if they are found guilty they should be given the harshest punishment that can serve as detterence to others like them.
You should wake up to reality. The world is not an utopia that you imagine it is. Picture of Getty Villas and escapist stories of Cyndrella are imaginary values. You can never incorporate them in practical life.
At least in my blog I focus on issues that are relevant, that are from this world, the kind that we live in. I will never deny in the existance of EVIL, for I know it exists. It is part of every society. If you close your eyes to evil it won’t go away…..
The most evil force is that of communism and socialism. More lives have been claimed in the name of these forces than for any other.
I don’t have to tell you what kind of punishment I think should be meted to the leaders who mislead the people with these ideologies.
So my comments on death penality deleted. I dont mind however,
Here is a capitalist joke:
—–
John had a call from his friend.
“I’ve got a problem,” said Bill.
“What’s the matter?” John asked.
“Well, I’ve bought this jigsaw puzzle, but it’s just too hard. None of the pieces fit together and I can’t find any straight edges.”
“What’s the picture of?” asks John.
“A big Rooster,” replied Bill.
“All right,” John told him, ” I’ll come over and take a look.”
When he arrived Bill led him into the kitchen and showed him the jigsaw puzzle on the kitchen table. John looked at the jigsaw, frowned, then turned to Bill and said, “You can start by putting the cornflakes back into the box.”
