I think the author really missed the point--though a lot of his rant was well-written, I admit. It's not a left nor right thing, IMO (I mean, if he wants to go there, I'm sure we could come up with many Dem-supporting welfare moms who crank 'em out, too). He's oversimplifying, as far as I can see. 'Left' doesn't just mean funky artists and neat-o Bohemian chicks, much as he might like it to. Hell, I'm on the 'right', and I'm an artist, and I agree with much of what he said, in that....it's just a gross thing, when it comes down to it...lol. Maybe we should send him a link to this place.
