But it is you who put yourself in a hunted, creative minority that is assaulted by the big, bad and ignorant majority. I don't think you are in any way part of some unprivileged minority of unsung heroes (on the contrary), and as for creativity it is not only writers and movie makers that are creative and "artistic" (in you phrasing) in the way they go about their daily activity. Clint Eastwood once said~ that making movies is of course an art, but so is plumming. Now that's a healthy attitude, and correct as well. -- underground experts united
