I wouldn't have had an idea of what <i>could</i> be done with women of the sort shown, let alone opinions about what <i>ought</i> to be done.<br /><br />But I would have recognized that an artist had found a way to <i>produce</i> such an image, and I would have <i>wanted</i> to have been able to make such images myself. I would have <i>longed</i> for that even in cases where I would presume that the requisite skill would forever be out of reach.<br /><br />I wasn't much paying attention to the teachers. If I could, I would have spent all of my time with the pictures.Daniel [oeconomist.com]https://www.blogger.com/profile/06763094285750736837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-347683455597417526.post-39360462264639927912013-03-12T06:21:23.544-07:002013-03-12T06:21:23.544-07:00Wow!

Today I assume the kid in possession of such a dangerous object would be suspended, sent for counseling and the book would be locked away in a vault somewhere.<br /><br />And they call it progress.
