I have to agree, Bob. They don't like me when I say stuff like that, but you are absolutely correct, I think. We're the "me" nation. It's almost the antithesis of Christianity.

Gaijindabe, I'd agree that some of the most pure art, and some of the most effective, is the free stuff. There are places in Seattle where it looks as if the locals just could not contain their need for expression. Wherever you have a surface and some paint, you have potential for expression. And much of the "real" art out there is not commissioned. Commission, heck. Some of the best stuff didn't even get permission.
