RE: The scandal surrounding the T-Shirt with Jesus message worn by expelled south shore student. Will the knee-jerk committees ever retire? My parents always taught me to try walking in someone else's shoes before passing judgement, so I went for a walk last night. Anti-Muslim and anti-Jewish violence especially, which includes violence motivated by religious intolerance as well as racist and anti-immigrant bias, is ever-present in many countries, including ours: Canada. READ MORE Anyone recognize the house on the corner??? Painting by Pat Shattuck That's right - it's our house!! Pete calls me the Queen of Coincidence. I got an e-mail tonight from the Hollis Street Art Gallery inviting me to an art opening called “Scapes: City Scapes and Escapes” which, of course, given my interest in urban planning and cityscapes triggered my curiosity - so I googled the name of one of the artist, Pat Shattuck and the painting to the left was the first to come up. Coincidence number two: I found an article about the artist in a heritage journal (The Griffin) which I happened to be reading yesterday because of an e-mail I received from my teaching mentor of years back who was researching an article for that very journal. I guess the universe is telling me to attend an art opening... Anyone want to join me for a glass of wine and some art grazing? Cheers, TartanFrog |
