hmmmm, if it was in jest, then you have my
apologies.......but whether a persons ideas/ideals
agree with ours should not make them idots.....
it should be a simple case of disagreement, with out
a value judgement........

First of all, I'm not going to pretend that I'm *not* an idiot when it
comes to politics and social causes. I've just observed over the years
that a lot of really artistic people tend to have extreme views on
subjects that they have a general understanding of, at best, because they
approach politics irrationally and emotionally and seem to get stuck on
smaller issues without taking the whole picture into account. It was
obviously an extreme generalization and I actually meant it to be in good
fun. It's really the biggest reason why I don't care if artists get
behind a cause I don't agree with.
