Heya Craig, the owner of a Hitler painting would no doubt be a rich man but 
it would hurt to look at them.  To even wonder about the good side of Hitler 
is hard.  I am programmed to see charcoal black and deep purple in the heart 
of that man.  I could take a glance at an oil based still-life of apples and 
canteloupes, but never of any bodies or faces.  Seymour Glass and Adolf 
Hitler are incomparable.  I find it irreverent in a way.  One started a war 
and the other didn't fight.  One is a brutal reality and the other fictional 
beauty.  If Hitler painted landscapes I would picture every tree burning.  
It would have to be so trite that it's murderously laughable after a good 
ol' pant-pissing.  Finding love for that man is ridiculous.  What a waste.  
People should be more productive and efficient with their time.  Of course, 
if you had a Hitler painting, you could quit your day job and do more with 
your time once it's sold.  It's a superstition for me.  I wasn't there.  The 
guy represents evil.  I'd rather not believe in evil.  Reading Das Kempf 
would change that somehow, I think.  Is it a long read?  Is it psychotic?  
What's it about?  Seems crazy.  Would a guy that's squeamish to psychotics 
be able to read it?  All rght, if it's under two hundred regular pages and 
he seems sane, I might read it.  That's not a deal, that's just a reminder 
for me.  Who knows how long and psychotic Das Kempf is?

Inebriously curious,

Japhe
