ONE FOR HAMISH - AND HILARY SUPPORTERS

QUERETARO, MEXICO: MARCH 5
At home, we have a Border terrier, Hamish. My wife, Bernadette, is in New York for a week. Hamish is looking after our youngest son. This photograph is for Hamish - and a comment on those who voted for Hilary Clinton in last night's Primary.

HITLER, McARTHY, HILARY CLINTON

COPAN RUINUS, HONDURAS: FEBRUARY 3
Sculpture in the museum raises a fresh chain of thought. PreColombian artists worked within a box. Break out of the box and you risked being next up the pyramid for a little knife work. Yet scuplters did break out. The humanity of the artist escapes in the minor works and in tiny details: the hint of a smile on a stone face, the line of arm and belly, humour in the portrayal of a plump frog.
If sculpture is universal and timeless, why not the simplest strictures of good and evil?
In Christendom, the doctrine of Universal Human Rights was expounded first by a Franciscan mendicant in Hispanic America. Others must have had the same belief. To express such beliefs was dangerous. To express anything outside the box is dangerous – or, at least, uncomfortable. Heretics are burnt or marched up the pyramid for heart surgery.
Silence is safe - thus acceptance of Hitler or McArthyism, parts of the Patriot Act. People recognise the evil. They are frightened to speak. Fear is the constant. People are always frightened.
Hilary Clinton voted for the Iraq War. Why? She was frightened of endangering her political career.
Her surrender to fear condemns her. She is unfit to be President
