    ...doesn't mean it's not art. Most people get more out of Disney than Michaelangelo. Does that mean that Fantasia is greater art than the Pieta?

    That being said, I have to admit that I don't "get" most "post-modern" art either, and suspect that most of it is pretensious crap. But I understand enough to know I'm too ignorant of the ideas involved to really have a useful opinion.

    Right...and every time you buy a CD or go to a movie, you are spending money that school or non-profit could really benefit from. And every time you eat at a restaurant, you are spending money that some hungry person could really benefit from. And every time you take a vacation, you are spending time that could have donated to a local charity. And...

    Entertainment is nonproductive. Deal with it.
