    Ridiculous. It is whatever people want that says more about the world than was ever said when people did not have whatever they wanted as much as today wherever they can have that freedom of choice.
    It is the common man that tackled crafts in the second half of the 20th century and provided a platform for postmodern art. It is here to stay and grow regardless of elitism or any Platonic, Aristotelian, essential, existential, metaphysical, Nazilike proposition of Degenerate Art, of which we had enough until we sent it to the museum.

    It really gets your goat that the finest art has always been "elitist" now doesn't it. Oh well... go on and enjoy your Lady Gaga, Twilight movies, and Dan Brown novels like a good champion of the masses.
