Pansies!!

TerisaB, says:

The Deep Ellum Foundation has changed their minds and will not be censoring the art. Let's see if the city and the people of Dallas are as closed-minded as the DEF assumes they are going to be. Their fallback position is that it "wasn't the art approved in the original submission." The submission was nebulous so that's not entirely true, but does that mean if we had submitted Woody originally they would have censored it beforehand? Bill, you make an excellent point. To be fair they didn't even know it was a picture of Woody Guthrie at all. Perhaps a little research into his intent would have been useful.

TerisaB, says:

For the record it was not the Deep Ellum Community Association.

TerisaB, says:

The DEA is worried about complaints since it wasn't them. They say they have to ask the city for money and permission often and therefore have to walk a fine line. If the City of Dallas is that oppressive that everyone is scared and pre-empting fallout over an image of Woody Guthrie then that needs to change. I'm thinking we need to have an event at our studio celebrating the lives of outspoken people. If you look at the side of the mural there are stencils of Rosa Parks, Bill Hicks and other people who have said or done what they think is right, even when controversial.

DC, says:

Thanks to the ongoing twitter dumbness people who don't live in Deep Ellum wonder why the D.E.A. really cares

jtmbls, says:

OoO! A Freedom of Expression party...I likey!

TerisaB, says:

What's happening on Twitter? I don't tweet.

DC, says:

No, it's more that since the new business model involves retwweeting, kinda like the courtesy flush for information, you can't actually make headlines that make sense like "Deep Ellum Association" vs "Drug Enforcement Agency" aaaaaannd curtain.

Here are some periods.... ... ..... .. ...... .. ... .. .... ...

DC, says:

Is that honestly the best you can do? I mean if you audited some community college class on internet posting I recommend you ask for a refund before someone beats your avatar up after you recommend they spend their time eating fried chicken or putting tortillas up their backside.

jtmbls, says:

Usually I am in favor of behaving like a 12 year old but come on people, take a deep breath and pull it together or else it will be spankings all around. - Starting with Travis for this.. Ah, Dc...prease go back to other side of world and give...etc.,etc.

Way, way below the racial belt Sir.

Let's kiss and make up now. I'm sure there is enough Midol to go around.

jtmbls, says:

I have worked far too hard at being the most immature person in the room. This is not a title I am willing to part with so back off bitches!!

DC, says:

You know, JR, it would be easier to read if your columns were a little better justified and you didn't use that tiny font no one can see.

jtmbls, says:

LOL! Are you willing to pay that tab Jason?

I will contribute for a vintage knock-off...preferably powder blue.

I. "THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND " words and music by Woody Guthrie

Chorus: This land is your land, this land is my land From California, to the New York Island From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me

As I was walking a ribbon of highway I saw above me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley This land was made for you and me

Chorus

I've roamed and rambled and I've followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me

Chorus

The sun comes shining as I was strolling The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling The fog was lifting a voice come chanting This land was made for you and me

Chorus

As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin! Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus

In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple Near the relief office - I see my people And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me.

IV. http://www.htmlbible.com/kjv30/henry/... Outline of Psalms 117

All people called upon to praise God.

• Here is a solemn call to all nations to praise the Lord, and proper matter for that praise is suggested. We are soon weary of well-doing, if we keep not up the pious and devout affections with which the spiritual sacrifice of praise ought to be kindled and kept burning. This is a gospel psalm. The apostle, Romans 15:11,. quotes it as a proof that the gospel was to be preached to the Gentile nations, and that it would be entertained by them. For many ages, in Judah only was God known, and his name praised; this call was not then given to any Gentiles. But the gospel of Christ is ordered to be preached to all nations, and by him those that were afar off are made nigh. We are among the persons to whom the Holy Spirit here speaks, whom he calls upon to join his ancient people in praising the Lord. Grace has thus abounded to millions of perishing sinners. Let us then listen to the offers of the grace of God, and pray for that time when all nations of the earth shall show forth his praises. And let us bless God for the unsearchable riches of gospel grace.

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, "I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." -- Woodie Guthrie, ...aka: Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) is best known as an American singer-songwriter and folk musician, whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children's songs, ballads and improvised works. He frequently performed with the slogan This Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is "This Land Is Your Land", which is regularly sung in American schools. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.[1]

Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression, earning him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour".[2] Throughout his life Guthrie was associated with United States communist groups, though he was never an actual member of any. ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Gu... ...for those who need something to talk negatively about, ...so that they can pretend to be esteemed.

Influence of CHARM &amp; WIT for "THIS CLASS":

Lord Alfred Tennyson

“I am a part of all that I have met.” - Lord Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892) Ulysses - 1st Baron Tennyson English, most famous poet of the Victorian age.

PS: I would like to thank you guys for treating DC like a lady. Believe it or not, even if the world should turn to a sewer and one finds themselves in a toilet, 'the aspect of CLEANLINESS IS NEXT TO GODLINESS' will ALWAY APPLY, ...long after we are gone (ON) ;-)

Be Bless, Ye O SO MERRY MEN, Wade

...almost forgot, Tennyson was trying to share that when we find ouselves alone in a dark corner, only capable of expressing that which we have truly brough to the table, ...whether it be 'feast or filth' ...there will always be 'a leader' amongst us, ...who will find the light, ...each man, or woman, ...will spend as much of his or her life, ...in the dark, ...as has been predestined, ...or chosen at will, ...the only question, ...is whether we will share the dark with those who are blinded by it. Then again, when breaking free, and finding the light, we leave those who feel most comfortable, in the dark, as the dark.

"Walking in the light" 1 John 1:5 (New International Version) 5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

ﻳﻮﺣﻨﺎ ﺍﻻﻭﻝ 1:5 5 وَهَذَا هُوَ الْخَبَرُ الَّذِي سَمِعْنَاهُ مِنَ الْمَسِيحِ وَنُعْلِنُهُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ اللهَ نُورٌ، وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ظَلاَمٌ الْبَتَّةَ.
