Call It Evil

I've thought about this often over these past many years. Why do so many people with even the best of intentions so often shy away from calling a spade a spade? This book by Susan Neiman isn't in my local library yet, so I've put a hold on her last book, Learning from the Germans.

Risks


Just a note on the sometimes treacherous hobby of photography.  The photo above, for instance, cost me a large blister about the size of a half-dollar (remember those?!) on my ankle, the result, most likely, of  an insect bite. Oh, the risks we sometimes take for our art! :-)
