I wrote that, not Rick. On the contrary, I am saying that art transcends 
the flaws of history, because the cave paintings implicitly record 
things about people who did not yet have the ability to record explicit, 
written history.


I recall now that you apparently use some crap misconfigured e-mail 
program that doesn't properly quote and attribute forcing you to do it 
by flawed hand and flawed memory, and I think your poor technology 
experience in general may be coloring your attitudes about all human 
product.
