Bullfight |
"If the saying, 'sticks and stones will break my bones but names will never harm me' was ever true, it certainly is not so today," said Josephson "Insults, name calling, relentless teasing, and malicious gossip often inflict deep and enduring pain."

hi eugene, love the drawings as always, especially like the "big noise" and "bigot" ones. this is a terrible thing that has gone on and continues. now that i have a daughter, i'm somewhat shocked when i see children be incredibly mean to others and their parents not only do not intervene to scold them, they seem to be completely oblivious. time after time, no consequences. i heard on the radio a show about the event you mention in the post and they said that the perpetrators had no inkling that there might be anything wrong with what they had done. the context for culpability didn't even exist.
Beautiful drawings !
