I dunno; on my last contract, far away from home, in my free time time I volunteered at a cat shelter. I got more intelligent conversation from the feline residents of the place than I did from the brain dead engineers I was working for. The people at the shelter were decent, but not interested in talking about anything but cats and celebrities.
I could brainstorm approaches to the technical challenges I faced, as well as the frustrations of dealing with a sys admin who didn't know very much about the CAD software we were using. Amazing how much nuance there could be in a simple "Meowrrit".
The point is taken however. Rockwell was one of the best artists of the 20th century, though personally I prefer N. C. Wyeth or Chesley Bonestell.
Come for the feminism, stay for the misplaced empathy.
