..I don´t buy that. For too long we´ve applauded every nimno we could saying..."Koomit eela...Suryaya eeli"....no way...airline pilots and doctors don´t get away with that, you´ll excuse me if a defend MY profession´s right to demand the best, regardless of how much Pasha Bob killed you in 789 AD. I expect more of my children not less...I expect more of myself, not less..and I expect more of us, not LESS because we are Assyrians and have been picked upon and had our marbles stolen...enjoy him all you want to...that has nothing to do with whoring the language to elevate ourselves where we don´t yet belong..we can get there..we can be among the best.,.but there´s no way someone would call this guy a great surgeon if this was the quality of his work.

The execution is poor enough, but the subject matter and handling are mawkish in the extreme...and I contend that your innards have a lot to do with the quality of your work..if you see the world in jingoistic terms and pat emotional appeals...and all of it based on lies anyway...you´re going to produce this kind of work...I know EXACTLY how awful my sculptures would be if I believed and felt and thought as Aprim or Jassim...I´d "write" like Aprim and produce "poetry" like Jassim...no thanks...your recipe for enjoyment at all costs because it´s the "best" you´ve seen will only guarantee that we never see any better.

Besides..it is my opinion only and should have no impact on your ability to enjoy his work...YOU chill....I grow hotter and hotter.
