It's Just Art

Yes, Tyler, it really is just art, and it would be a tragedy for even the stoned mezzo-retard with the sideways baseball cap who blasts his friggin' [c]rap "music" in my neighborhood at three am to take a bullet, even for a Diebenkorn, even for the Last Supper of da Vinci.

Preserving art for future generations is a noble thing to do, but a sense of proportion is in order. Preserving human life, no matter how great the art, is more important. If you cannot agree to that, you have some serious contemplation to do.

Of course, Tyler did say, "short of taking a bullet", so I am not shaking my finger at him. I just have encountered too many people who have problems with getting these basic priorities straight.
