Another sign

Michael Chrichton, one of the few people who have genuinely been willing to take unpopular positions out of reason and conscience, has died on this historic day. Do you see a connection? I feel, at least, that the grimness and sadness of this day have been compounded. May a brave man sleep the sleep of the brave, "and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"!

There might not be any direct causal connection between the modern cult of death and sterility and the banality of most modern architecture, but that doesn't mean they aren't a perfect aesthetic match.
