Yup. "I like it",  as Cracker would say.

WW2 and Twin Towers.

Will do, I'll put it up on S.B. Thurs. or sooner, let me know, thanks.

Re; the brown-nosing Kripnik, look closer and you'll see that there's a slight gray ['brown'] smudge at the tip of his nose in nearly every image of him.

 I did, once it was pointed

 I did, once it was pointed out that there was something to find (it was tiny, in print, so I forgive myself for that one.) And "brown-nosing" doesn't always translate in black-and-white...Eye )

 

BTW, Bosch, I think "they will never forget" would be a great visual for the 9.11 pieces on Superhero Babylon.


Thanks, Joe, and it really

Thanks, Joe, and it really may be too subtle, but I think I'll keep it as such, it's always a pleasure to have people 'get it' on their own.

P.S. Did you 'get' the meaning of my design for Kripnik's hair in Table for One?

My god, I just got it, after

My god, I just got it, after looking at it a couple of days ( I mean, I got the Twin towers, but I didn't see they were part of the "They"...too subtle, or am I just dense? Either way, love it. Smiling


I'm with you all the way,

I'm with you all the way, Kyrel, and my point in this piece is to challenge how we're always telling ourselves to 'Never Forget' with the far more important idea that we make sure that The Enemy Never Forgets, in action. Now, I may have been too subtle for my own good here, but there's a Big 'They' that anchors the piece and is the point of it.

BTW, that's great to hear about your give and take with Weizel, and that your words gave him pause.

Understand and Destroy

Kyrel Zantonavitch's picture

Bosch: Never forgetting the evil that the Muslims and jihadis did on 9/11 is important -- but so is understanding exactly who they are and why they did it. The key to all of it, in my view, is comprehending the deep and terrible evil which is the philosophy of moderate and mainstream Islam.

I recently told Elie Weisel that I thought his whole viewpoint regarding the Nazi holocaust could be summed up in one word: "Remember." But I said I thought a better one-word philosophy was "Understand." This seemed to shock him a bit, and made him think. After a long pause (during which I felt hideously guilty for challenging an old man) he finally said something like "Yes, but before you can understand something, you first have to remember it happened."

Whether discussing Nazism or Islam, it isn't enough to merely "never forget" with great fire, intensity, and hatred. And it isn't enough to merely "understand" either. At some point you absolutely have to CRUSH these evils. You have to destroy the ideas intellectually, and you have to destroy the aggressors who act on their behalf.
