just because you say stealing isn't right
it doesn't make it that way either fred
each situation is very different in my mind
which our set of laws oft glosses over and you apparently adhere to
that our system of law reflects more of a penalty for a thief than a
molester
points to a wacked value system
haven't u seen the bicycle thief???
(oh yeay i forgot the - people see stuff but don't absorb the inherent
knowledge - factor)
and
i think you miss the point of "i am not a marxist"
and
???obnoxious???
ur funny fred - humor - right
i am glad for the clarification of the word use
thank you david
my work has been negatively criticized as fetishistic
(as have naive artists and others)
and i think it is just sick (limited) on the part of freud's mind in the
first place
and continued thru the critic
good 2 know it was used in a different light
