I pose this question to writers of all forms. It seems that we are on the back burner of expected professions in our community. In the wake of Rappers, Strippers, Video Vixens and Athletes we seem to still be in the minority. I'd like to ask why everyone thinks that is? Now we're all making strides slow ones but strides none the less. Why are we in a new age and still glorifying ignorance? Men become rappers and women become strippers because of fame and money. But does Art have a place in the heart of our people as a collective?  And if so can it be accepted and enjoyed for simple aesthetic purposes and not be turned  into a gambit for the sake of money. Is there a happy medium?  Thoughts?
