: Couldn't agree more. When I went to commercial art school, the height of
: plebeian ignorance was summed up by the uneducated utterance, "I
: don't know much about art, I just know what I like". Many times I
: heard my professors refer to that expression with huge distain. However
: when I left that school I was convinced that rather than being indicative
: of an uncouth toothless peasant mentality, it indeed sums up the true
: heart and spirit of art. You like it or you don't... and no amount of
: elitist snobbery can beat that out of a person, only make them afraid to
: speak their mind in front of the self ordained high and mighty.

What? It was almost a perfect 60-120-180 (what I call "Elvish") triad. It was beautiful!
