To: Ben Lau Speaking of MCAD, this story was suddenly recalled: The French Foreign Legion in Algeria had a new general. As it turns out, most of their generals were French nationals, and pretty young were they. Older folks simply could not withstand the great hardship that came with desert campaigns. To get acquainted with his new base the general was shown around the barracks by a captain. It was a sweaty affair since Algeria is an extremely hot country. At the end of the tour, the general asked the captain,” What about the house at the far south west corner, the one with a green door? You never said anything about it.” Amazed to be caught at this negligence, the captain stammered, “Oh that,–that’s just an empty space, sir. When the men feel the urge to relieve themselves, there is a camel inside, . . .” “Now that is very disgusting! That’s enough, you may go now!” said the general to the captain. Being stationed in a desolate desert far away from France could amass in a young general a good deal of unused energy and that took its toll on him. He felt a strong urge to get rid of it. So he went to the captain and asked for the keys to the barracks at the south west corner of the base. Behind the green door he found the cutest camel that Algeria could offer, . . . ******************************************************************** Meanwhile the captain became worried because it was quite some time since the general had disappeared.The general had earlier asked him for the keys to the south west barracks so he knew where to find him. The captain looked inside every single house in that direction, but– nothing! Finally he came to the house with the green door. As he looked inside he saw a man totally naked, his body swiveling excitedly but totally smeared with camel shit and urine. The captain asked the general, “What are you doing here, sir?” Hardly expecting this intrusion,least of all such a stupid question, the general was embarrassed and not at all humored. And he replied in a bashful but harsh tone,” Didn’t you say that when the men feel the urge to relieve themselves they would come over here?” ” I did, sir! But just as I wanted to say something more, you stopped me! I was really saying, when the men feel the urge to relieve themselves they would come here,– find a camel to ride into town,then find a woman there,. . . — but you stopped me before I could finished!” ******************************************************************** That is the current state of affair with art of our time,–not just inside a local art school, but the world over! Indeed, not unlike the general in the story, our so-called “artists” are wallowing in shit and urine! Don’t want to believe me?check it out yourself: check out all the art magazines, or any mass media on arts, the “avant garde” museums and galleries, . . . just find out for yourself! The misunderstanding of art has become such wallowing in camel mud! Folks’ egos have long stopped listening! So whenever they feel an urge to relieve themselves, anything go! — Ben Lau, a.k.a.the Alpha Seer* * The Alpha Seer is one who is awakened to Beauty.
