When people could rely on what was said by their priests, elders and kings. Conservatism has nothing to do with western civilization, only the preservation of ignorance.Hans Versluyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15331809478789352312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-75854043101016359962007-06-13T23:17:00.000+12:002007-06-13T23:17:00.000+12:00Rita, I like Schama; I had no idea this programme ...Rita, I like Schama; I had no idea this programme was being screened; they only advertise the cop shows.<BR/><BR/> I agree about the Gentileschi.

Well, what I like right now is Simon Schama’s "The Power of Art", currently showing on TVOne at 10.30pm Sunday nights (wouldn’t you know it?). If you can’t stay up that late it’s also available in a book and on DVD. Plenty of stuff for the Christians to think about. <BR/><BR/>http://www.bbc.co.uk/arts/powerofart/<BR/>http://www.harpercollins.com/books/9780061176104/The_Power_of_Art/index.aspx<BR/>http://www.moviemail-online.co.uk/films/18551/Simon_Schama:_Power_Of_Art/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36994129.post-81813509888925421202007-06-13T19:49:00.000+12:002007-06-13T19:49:00.000+12:00My life is not on display on my blog.
