LETTERI saw a sign the other day - it was the icon of Art herself, Mona Lisa, saying "makes you want to Ralph." I thought about this lone voice in light of the overwhelming victory by the Klein party. And I thought about the lone voice of aritsts here in Alberta.
A province that boasts the ingenuity and enterprising spirit of its citizens doesn't allow that same courtesy to its artists. I remember a circus act here prevented from performing "lewd" acts and I remember ATP's Angels in America. Klein's party moralizes and it censors - creating a climate of intolerance which justifies recent remarks from the likes of Alderman Jon Lord (obviously tormented by his dreams).
One can only hope more voices will be heard. Mona, I want to Ralph too!
