Robert looks at a couple of issues of relevance as we celebrate America's 250th birthday. First he looks at the Reflecting Pool controversy where some fringe lunatics are celebrating the destruction of beauty, as is typical in the arts. Second, he discusses an article by an LGBTQ+ activist who talks about how the AIDS crisis led to the development of art as a "lifesaving" endeavor. Robert equates that technique to the need for conservative and traditionally-minded people to create art to salvage the good, the beautiful, and the true.
