All around the city, street artists are stopping people in their tracks ... and thoughts.

There is work going on in London town.

Guerilla artists are on the warpath of delivering art to audiences, and causing twitters with their work.

, correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor, writes in his article on January 9, 2007:

If all the world's a stage, then all of London is an art gallery. It feels like the world capital of guerrilla art. Spray paintings with a message, hastily made paintings, and elaborate pieces of graffiti are popping up on the sides of buildings, bus-stops, and sidewalks across the city... guerrilla art seems to be going increasingly mainstream - crossing from street to gallery, and is making big bucks. So some ask: How democratic is this "democratic art"?

Margaret Atwood and Bill Moyers on myth, faith and reason

Check out this video (UTube) in which Bill Moyers is interviewing Margaret Atwood on myths, mythmaking, faith and reason.

An excellent approach to not knowing, and the ongoing questioning of what we believe we know.
