I loved it. You are right on target with your points. I also wanted to encourage you to PLEASE keep writing on your blog about such issues!!!! There is such a need.

Is there a way you can let us know the link to it or do you know if it will be on LAF soon?

I've always agreed with that point, but I have had one small problem. I love the artwork that you post, however, it's really not to my husband's taste. He prefers modern art and has really odd taste, actually.
