Not a fan
[Read the article: Hit her, baby, one more time]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I don't really care either way about her performance, but think that the comments about Ms. Spears weight are over the line. She looks great!
As for the overwhelming media coverage of her issues ... I feel for anyone who has to live under that sort of scrutiny. If I were her, I'd find a new career. She could spend a few years doing something to "give back" then have her comeback in her 30s or 40s. Or not...

From one existential artist to another
[Read the article: I'm an existential artist. People just don't get me!]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Nobody cares. They are all busy with their own interpretations of the world. Follow Cary's advice, find a way to be yourself in the midst of the crowd and stop worrying about it.
You exist, so make art. Whether people "get it" or not is irrelevant and outside your control. People invent their own stories in order to make it through life and often what they "get" is not what you had imagined or intended. This is neither a good, nor a bad thing.
To paraphrase Zoroaster, "If you do not make art, you are destined to wake up one morning and find that 'Dog' is dead and you have become a giant cockroach. Is that really what you want?"

I don't blame Carlin for not voting ...
[Read the article: Curious George]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]I can SO relate, but I can't not participate with a clear conscience as there are people who died so that I can have the right to vote. I view voting as part of the price one pays for being here.
So I vote in every election and once I cast my vote, I divorce myself from the outcome b/c one vote is all I get.
I also feel that this world we live in is not "real" in any permanent sense. This is just where we happen to be right now. I make the best of it and go on. Maybe the "terrorists" will get me, but I refuse to waste my life being afraid of what might happen.
I'm feeling cynical myself today, so #%&@ it all, I plan to enjoy life while I can.

I, for one, welcome our new Patriotic overlords
[Read the article: Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]War is peace.
Ignorance is strength.
Freedom is slavery.
Oceana has always been at war with Eurasia.
I love my country.
Thank you sir, may I please have another.
