Hardly warm and cozy.

live in a fish bowl

I'd love to see evening arrive
and never turn on the lights...

be Nice to have switch*
and opaque the glass with a clap.

"Johnson was a genius[*] and should be allowed to indulge in some peculiarities."

sure. & why not have a Torture Chamber in one's basement?
and what the Fuck's Wrong with 'a few' (unseen) Proclivities?

*and so is Fake 'the J is for Genius!' 'prez'!
And specially 'round the Stable.

@3 Holy shit, is this satire?

"The left is strictly Victorian about racial beliefs, which are the province of the beholder." This is a very verbose way of saying "wahhh, why do people get mad at me for hating brown people?"

"Some peculiarities" ??? He literally attended Nazi rallies. You're nothing more than a racist with a thesaurus, and a sniveling fucking prick. I wish I could hear you stammer out some bullshit like that in the real world, so you could promptly receive the ass-beating you should have got in high school.

The history books are replete with artistic and literary and philosophical geniuses who also happened to have repugnant personal lives and odious beliefs. How we evaluate their works in light of their "Basket of Deplorable" lives is a never ending question. Until very, very recently in the western world homosexuality was a diagnosis of insanity, and homosexual acts were crimes. Yet the works of Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo have been celebrated for centuries. Frank Lloyd Wright's personal live was messy, to be generous. Picasso? Wow. Wernher von Braun? Add your own names to the list. It is endless. The majority of the Founding Fathers of this nation enslaved their fellow humans. It is a fascinating question to ponder, and I have no answers. But it is certainly a legitimate question to raise. BTW, William L. Shirer outed Phillip Johnson as a Nazi sympathizer before WWII. Johnson was also gay, and out of the closet his entire long life. Juggle on.

Great article. Thank you.
