Weird Night
First, a barely breathing rabbit appears in my hallway thanks to my cat, Nicky. Neither Melissa nor myself saw him bring it in, but it was quickly decided that I should take it outside. I brought it outside and placed it behind a row of bushes outside the house so it would have a chance to get away. I'm not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to the animal world, but I've heard that rabbits can play dead and that they also scare easily and can quickly suffer heart attacks. As much as it pains me, I think it was somewhere in between. There was really nothing I could do for it. I hope it's OK.
Then, I stumble upon a link to a story (complete with pictures) about an art exhibit in Tampa featuring dead bodies encased in sillicone.
Reading the story and looking at the pictures, I became a tad grossed out, though I'm pretty sure I'm OK with the whole idea. My reaction seems to be shared by many, including some lawmakers. My libertarian streak is being polished more and more each day thanks to things like this that test my sensibilities. For most severely edgy art, I'm of the "do what you want" persuasion. There's no law saying I have to participate. And -- with rare exception -- I'm of the opinion that I have no right to tell you that you can't.
