Always hated it. It’s depressing and ugly.
The FDR Four Freedoms was also a theme illustrated by Americana artist Normal Rockwell, including his most famous “Thanksgiving Dinner” scene – Freedom from Want.
Timely. One of FDR’s inclusions in these “freedoms” was the right to health care. Still working on that.
How can you have a “right” to someone else’s labors? All rights come with duties as well – everyone has a duty to take care of themselves and not make unhealthy life style choices, long before they can demand someone else pay to bail them out of their own poor decisions. Right now we have a national epidemic of obesity – does this incur the “right” to make others pay for this lifestyle choice?
IF we were a city with lots of murals, like Lompoc, this wouldn’t stand out as much as it does. But with the current sign commission regulating against such things this stands out as a depressing and oppressive addition to the downtown cityscape. I too have wondered for years why it has been allowed there so long and would vote for its removal.
Not unless the students all had the same exact artistic capabilities and were bent on emulating one style and one style only. I. e., doesn’t it look to be the work of a single artist?
