What I suspect is they will be asking innocents to participate in the ongoing dismantling of our culture.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-737776756687540722014-12-14T02:48:33.815+00:002014-12-14T02:48:33.815+00:00Substitute the word 'science' for 'art...Substitute the word 'science' for 'art' and you will gain my attention. The last thing we need is more 'performing street artists' clogging up our byways. Tis bad enough trying not to make eye contact with the chuggers. Imagine the horror of being confronted by a beggar 'asking for a tenner' through the medium of mime.

The New York typographers of the 1950s/60s brought many exciting type styles. Europe managed to produce EuroFont, bland, featureless, designed to stultify original thought and to demand obedience. That fount is Helvetica, Ariel, Humanist some numbers, and others. Blimey, Univers has more character. I do think that this here chap might not do so well as he thinks.andy5759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-68536691670560773052014-12-13T14:40:32.005+00:002014-12-13T14:40:32.005+00:00Stolen from somewhere :

School should be about the things that are necessary to prepare you for life and work - art isn't that by a long shot.<br /><br />And besides, most schools do teach dance and it's usually that street dance crap that makes kids think a career as an x-factor contestant is a wise move.Buckohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03169970711606515445noreply@blogger.com
