All art consists in bringing something into existence.
It is my pleasure to send greetings to James Buchanan on the occasion of this celebration. Moreover he will undoubtedly detect the strong undercurrent of seriousness in what follows. Jim Buchanan is an artist par excellence. Like other great artists who paint brilliant canvases, he has created a world and persuaded legions of followers that his perception of the world is correct. In accomplishing that feat he has indeed made their world what it is.
