These could be significantly improved by superimposing them over pictures of cats.

Can one of the eight people who unmodded this explain themselves?<p>EDIT: No, no. Quit downmodding <i>me</i> and explain why you upmodded that website. I'm just curious. It seems really dumb and really offtopic, both.

For those who aren't familiar with the name, Jenny Holzer is a conceptual artist (so take these truisms with a grain of salt): <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Holzer" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jenny_Holzer</a><p>I was first introduced to Holzer's work when I found the "Green Table" in the corner of a courtyard at UC San Diego. It's engraved with the following statement:<p>"IN A DREAM YOU SAW A WAY TO SURVIVE AND YOU WERE FULL OF JOY"

If you need a quick fix for the terrible style, paste this in your address bar, or run it via firebug:<p>javascript: function f(){s=document.body.style;s.backgroundColor="white";s.color="black";s.fontSize="10pt";s.fontFamily="arial";}f();

I stopped reading after:<p>"a man can't know what it is to be a mother"<p>That's true at a precise level. But more valuable is:<p>"a man can know what it is to be a parent"<p>and I think that's a much more valuable statement.<p>I pretty much recall this exact discussion happening during the VP debate.

Accept loss as a universal force.
