People really should learn the difference between things which are not to
their personal taste, and thing which are bad.

I, for example, can't stand country and western music. Hate the stuff. But I
would not be so arrogant as to suggest that those who *do* like country and
western are wrong, and that it's a bad thing. It's just not my cup of tea.

If you don't appreciate modern art, well, fair enough. But 'universal
condemnation and hatred'? Did your wife leave you for a conceptual artist,
or something?
