It is only relevant in comparison to some set of assumptions or standards. I applaud the spontaneity of heart and screw the mental evaluation. Guilt only stands when the moral code is accepted. (I'm STILL reading Atlas Shrugged). Drop the elitist attitude and be present for the experience. That is real!

(That sounds sarcastic, but its not). it just makes it a different kind of piece, more art than politic. all that said, i did think the text was pretty vapid. and i did not stand. hoy! hoy! i saw this very same show last night in jersey, unknowing of your blog. hoy hoy!
