Care to explain why you prefer Motif more thoroughly? I'm not attempting to dispute you in any way. I just dont actually know many people on Motif. Thanks:)
"Certainly, we are outnumbered by consumers of the "fickle sheep" variety, but I do wonder how much money the industry loses because it refuses to address my wishes as a listener."
I ask myself the same question and I always end up deciding: not much. Today's pop culture phenomenon is much the same as any major media movement. It's "major" meaning that lots of people are buying into it. why they bother is beyond me, but maybe it'll provoke another counter movement, and that's always fun. the intrigue of the underground is ever present! bwhahaha. *giggle*
Grrr...sometimes stuff like this annoys me. All over this article they bring up very significant ethical questions, as likely in an effort to appease as many varieties of fundamentalists as possible as to actually consider the side effects. But not once in the article did they consider that maybe the monkeys arent gonna be real happy with having their heads messed with. They recognize that it's great having these tests subjects that are at least somewhat similar to humans (relatively of course) but not that maybe these similarities have similar emotional/physical consequences for them as for us. I'm waiting for the next big evolution where humans get left behind and get to be the new race of test subjects. fun times. =P
