DJ, I don't really idolize people. But some are definitely admirable. The ones who seek power by confiscation, murder, threats, imposts and other involuntary interaction are at the other end of existence from our Great Benevolent Hero, who is providing the means for voluntary interaction by free-will bearing people, trading value for value in the best of Libertarian tradition.

To compare the Great and Wondrous Uncle Al with Adolf, Kim Il Sung, Stalin, Mao etc shows a passing attachment to reality.

I repeat my praise in fulsome tones in equal and opposite reaction to the mindless vehemence of those who rant and foam against him in expletives, curses and demented fury. I do that partly to poke a thumb in their blind eye, but also to bring illumination to their dark caves of bewilderment assuming they still have one eye partly open.

The observer creates the image. The picture of the galaxy was the work of people. Whether it's a daub of paint, or the amazing complexity of a Hubble telescope collecting photons from deep space and cyberspace delivering them to you via fibre and silicon, it's the process of creative genius which created the images. I know which I think is the greater work of art.
