Re: Mind's Eye Re: PEGIDA

Grandchild just made fleeting visit and disappeared with some of my tabs, beer and small donation.  He has some autism, can make me cry playing the guitar and shares little character other than my inflated sense of moral outrage and penchant for rude jokes.  I like kids, but don't tell any of them ...

Not possible to argue against that Tony - at least in the sense I admire the story and could see myself doing the same as you - indeed, a grandchild fits the theme here.  I was abroad at the time and may have stopped the father (I might still be doing the time), but had I done so there would be no young boy my daughter dotes upon.

Of course, there are arguments against what you say, both in terms of women's rights and who should pay (prevention of back-street abortions etc.) - these are too well rehearsed to bother with.  My position in these has much to do with the practical squalor I witnessed as a cop and fear the libertarian in me is impositional on others.  Tails chase and keep philosophers in cheese and biscuits.  None of this prevents me feeling admiration for what you chose to do.

My government, with EU approval, has chosen to leave immigrants drowning in the sea 'pour encourager les autres' not to come.  I could not do that myself.  I would not stop a woman having an abortion and would want her to get the best 'treatment' possible, yet what if this was my child?  God it's tough.

Much love to you and your family.  Your art touches me and it;s good to know an artist can be so morally decent.  Is this 'allowed'?
