CREATIVITY MINUS CREATIVE OUTLET EQUALS INSANITY

A painting by Adolf Hitler sold for six times as much as expected -- almost $15,000 -- at an auction in London last week. The 1910 painting of a figure which is speculated to be Hitler himself sitting on a stone bridge was one of 15 paintings which fetched a total of $120,000. While the auction house was thrilled with the sale -- they had expected the items to go for less than $50,000 -- not everyone was quite as excited. “Who would want to have in their house a painting by the most horrible murderer in the history of mankind?” asked Rabbi Marvin Hier. “Any individual that would buy it to hang in their homes should be ashamed of themselves.” (CNN)
