Are state
symbols sacrosanct, or is it okay to alter them to create art or to make a
political point? Is the flag that Rafa
designed a good way to help Roma assert their identity as both Roma and Czech? Do
you agree that the crackdown on Broz and others for displaying this flag is
motivated by racism? How would you react
to a Slovak-Romani flag?

Flying his own flag
Tainted Love
Does
learning about the bad things that artists have done or said affect how you
experience their art? Should it? Can one separate the artist from the art, or
do the reprehensible attitudes of the former somehow affect the latter? What about considerations of financial
support? Can you buy such an artist's art,
knowing that some of the money goes back to the artist?
No kippahs on our kiddies
Does this
story illustrate some of the problems inherent in religious charities,
especially when they get state support?
To what extent, if any, does a society or an institution have the
right to “protect” children from being raised in or converted to a minority
religion?
Somebody sing hello, hello, hello. Somebody cry why, why, why.
Why do you
think the homeless are invisible? Is it
because of modern technology bubbles or fear or laziness? Does blame often become a way to make
excuses for not helping those in need?
What can be done about this?
Eggs soaring, smashing and sailing
This is the
last entry you can comment on for the month of February.
Should
Rotterdam allow their historic bridge to be temporarily dismantled? Is this protest simply motivated by hatred for
the very rich? Would you be out there
throwing eggs?
