Critics can destroy as well as enrich

With all the talk about Eisenman's "sculpture" in Berlin -- which seems to me might be a work of some real long, term value -- I urge you to read this post: BERLIN MEMORIAL REVEALS ABYSS, NOT AMBIGUITIES because it illustrates the way in which critics like Ourossoff can, through their pompous inanities actually lead people astray. Now if Eisenman somehow thinks that the fallout from the Holocaust contains some sort of "moral ambiguities" then I will take back my words about Ourossoff, apologize to him and aim them at Eisenman instead. I am astonished that Ourossoff has not been quized widely on his words; maybe he can wiggle out of them somehow.
