Surely you did not ask that question about depressing voter turnout. Listen up. Many tactics are used to depress voter turnout. One major one is to set the stage that your guy is so far ahead and will win so the other side may as well stay at home. Depressing turnout does not refer to depressing Obama's supporters it refers to depressing the voters on the other side to stay at home and not vote. What's wrong with people that they don't have the slightest clue or understanding of political issues then feel compelled to make a false case instead of just asking intelligent questions to get intelligent answers.

Kinda' like my observations living in Cincinnati. The driving experience is so telling. You'll have someone agressively tailgate or pass you, because they want to be noticed and be up in front. But, when they do, they fall behind to stay next to the other car. They never seemed to drive along their merry way, they always hug another car and drive in a pack. It was quite illuminating.

I have never done fashionable art, either. I do art because I must. It is a part of me, not a fashion statement. I've always hated that elitist attitude. I just carry on, doing what I do and try to ignore the BS. Oh, I so agree! I have never done fashionable art, either. I do art because I must. It is a part of me, not a fashion statement.

For the past half century or more, the art world has been in the grip of the Emperor's Clothing Syndrome. Which gives me the idea for another vid. I couldn’t agree with you more working-class artist.

A complete waste not of time but of productive energy. So the Obama Camelot imagery will sound exactly like OldGrumpyGuy's Clones and Cliches - promoting productivity by advancing anti-productivity.

Thanks for the smiles. It also points to a significant issue in this election. I say this with love and sympathy. It's not their fault. We failed them. We wanted their lives easier than our own. Unfortunately, its pretty hard to sort out who you are and what you want in life, if you've never learned to trust your own judgement and abilities. By the time you're in your teens and twenties the fear of failure and ridicule becomes overwelming and self defeating. So with the best of intensions, we've wound up creating multiple generations of mentally and phsyically lazy, self centered, dependents - not only are they still living at home and relying on mom and dad to maintain their standard of living. But without ever having to learn how to face and meet challenges and learn from failure, they lack the self confidence for independent thought, action or emotion. Hence the rap sheep.
