[NetBehaviour] interesting article on a subject close to my heart

[Joel Weishaus]

Hi James;

It seems incongruous to me to say that "Art (I assume you mean visual 
art) is more powerful even than the pen," while using the pen (I assume 
you mean writing)  to say this.
 From at least the Upper Paleolithic, visual art has been a form of 
writing. And from the Neolithic on, writing has been a form of visual art.
