Would the sale of a famous artwork count as current events?

[JFN1]

6. Well, sure, if you have a spare $120 million just laying around,,,

I mean, when you could build a few schools for the community, or give your wage slaves better pay, or feed some hungry Americans, why not buy a piece of art every bit as insanely overpriced as the payscale for professional athletes?

Sure, the art is great - no one is suggesting its not an important piece.

But it annoys me people pay such money for something that, more than likely, they intend to use as a status symbol, or for bragging rights down at the billionaire's club - and probably not just because its a great piece of art - and history.

And then hang it on a wall in their mansion where only an elite few will ever see it...when such art is an important example of human potential, talent, and expression; raw communication of the soul being hoarded instead of magnified.

Just sayin'...
