That's quite a clever way to put it :) I like that.

If you can't see the beauty in an act of destruction you've just never applied plastic explosives suitably or ran over anything in a tank.

Creation and destruction are the same thing really; turning one thing into another - From a certain point of view. :wink:

Almost like a conservation law.

Plus that video you posted with the tank driving over the bomb was awesome. :D

Creation is destruction. They give me a big sheet of perfect-high-grade-fine-tolerance perspex.... and I hack it up into little pieces until it's beautiful. :) Nothing is "created" but it is an act of creation - just as a musician doesn't invent his own notes.

The appreciation of beauty is subjective and is brought to the table by an individual. Some people prefer complete tanks.


(yeah that tank vid was awesome :))
