Thought for the day after the electionsI think political has two different meanings, as a matter of fact I agree with you and with James.

  If art for art's sake is "small," what good is music?  Or is someone going to tell me it's a lesser art than poetry?  Or, more idiotically, that it can be political.  Yeah, I know about Finlandia, and Beethoven's Eroica.  But they're not political, they're only used as emblems of political the way a color or flower can be.  Politics is just tenth-raters fighting each other for power over morons.
