Propaganda

I recently did a project with a friend of mine about Propaganda, and one of the most remarkable things I found through the research were George Orwell's words, "All art is essentially propaganda."  He wrote it in a review of T. S. Eliot's Poetry, and it was kind of a throw away line, but he really has a point.  Is it possible to separate the art from its creator, or does it always gleam through?

Orwell himself wasn't exactly subtle.

It s a pretty interesting idea, at least, and it isn't necessarily a bad thing by any means, it just means that we have to be careful and consider where the things that we consume comes from.

Also, it is my birthday tomorrow.  Kickass.
