'Guns of the Patriot' an addictive masterpiece
Guns, guns, guns. The Supreme Court says they're as desirable as apple pie. They're certainly advantageous in video games. If there were no guns, there'd be no semi-auto rifles to plow through cops in "Grand Theft Auto IV." There'd be no shotguns to blow away farmers in "Manhunt 2."Without guns, there'd be no fully automated weapons to fetishize and fantasize over in "Metal Gear Solid 4," ...

Back to nature By Quentin Young Longmont Times-Call
Just as big business sometimes displays a disregard for the land, the academy sometimes fails to respect landscape painting. For French arbiters of taste in the 18th century, landscape painting resided way down in the valley below the peak of history painting.
