                                         AMERICANBEAUTY

To take this a little further:

Is beauty external, is it just
a matter of sensation?

Or is there a component of beauty
that has to do with understanding
what you're looking at, thinking
about the implications of what
you see?

The heat distortion from the
exhaust puffing out of a car's
tail pipe can make some cool
twisted images.

   Many would call it ugly,                    Both types of beauty
   because they know it's                      can be in sync.
   poisonous.                                  Trees both clean
                                               the air and decorate
                    Even worse though:         the landscape.
		    we've been subjected
                    to huge amounts of                An uncontroversial
                    propaganda to the                 beauty.
                    effect that cars are
                    sexy symbols of power
		    and adulthood...

		             Rave about the beauty
		             of car exhaust and
		             you run into the hype
		             filters.


   And there's still
   another kind of beauty,
   where you appreciate
   the sad contrast
   between the way it
   looks and what it is...


      And then there's still
      another: You can
      appreciate the appeal
      of the ambiguous.  Some
      things can be awe
      inspiring, without
      there being any way to
      tell if they're good or
      bad.  There's the sense
      of something being
      "beyond good and evil".


          And once again what I'm talking about here
          is the connections (and barriers) between
          the esthetic and the ethical.
