Give them my best. But remember. 1. Romanticism and modernism share some themes! BOTH preach suspicion of authority, for example, and respect for diversity/eccentricity. This harkens back to when they were allies against monarchy, before they turned on each other. These themes fill much music/art/cinema. 2. We are all deeply romantic. The trick is to let modernism be in charge of POLICY. We can then try to have a reasonable, progressive, pragmatic civilization... ... that then lets us all hoot and holler and do romantic things in our free time. Or in the arts. thrive _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
