Just read an interesting quote from Henry Miller. I'm posting it because i feel that perhaps 5 or 6 years ago, i felt the same way. And I'm not sure that i do now for various reasons, the first of which being the ever-splattered "canvas" of the Internet. A new art form in my eyes. So i post this for myself to come back to and ponder.... What do you fucks think?

"Aesthetically [Americans] are probably the most conservative people in the world. We have to have the blind staggers before we release. Then we break one another's heads with glee and impunity. We have been educated to such a fine--or dull--point that we are incapable of enjoying something new, something different, until we are first told what it's all about. We don't trust our five senses; we rely on our critics and educators, all of whom are failures in the realm of creation."
