The Internet is perfect for delivering large blocks of text to people throughout the world for free. That's a plus. The downside is the ADD, the Internet-addled Attention Deficit Disorder.

Artists used to argue about art for art's sake versus social realism etc, and now it's like the most dominate argument is related to "art for the market's sake." It's a necessity, somewhat, for some people.

I'm an only child and an American and am wholly in favor of uniqueness of voice in everything, especially music and writing.

Having a voice unlike another means you've "found yourself" as a writer.

There's a ton of good art and music and writing out there offline among a ton of trash, and the same goes with what's online.

America's all about the various voices, right? When we all speak with a common voice we verge on fascism, which is militaristic, and fundamentally anti-American.
