Writer or Viewer?

I think that the responsibilty of what people watch today falls inbetween. The writer should care about what he writes and whether or not it alines with what he believes, but today unfortunatly that does not seem to happen that often. Viewers, well most viewers are smart enough to figure out if they are watching somthing they should or not and they can't blame the writer for their viewing of the show. Writers are responsible for what they write in some way or another, but viewers can't blame them for their kids acting a certain way if they allowed their child to watch the show and then that child went out and copied the behavior. That is ineffitable. For all we know the writers wouldn't write what they write if they were held responsible and if viewers stopped watching the shows with inapproiate behavior they would stop writing it. It is a two way street and everyone who takes apart in the show, movie, book, or anything that someone has to write will be responsible in some way as to what they took in or wrote.

ART

When, we think about art and what is art, you have to take into consideration the artist. Yes, when the paiter or the potter or the writer sat down and started their masterpiece no one called it art except themselves. Yes, it is helpful if other's find it worthy of thier liking, but you don't need others to approve of it in order for it to be art. A two year old can scribble four colorful lines and and to the two year old and his or hers parents think it is not only the best art, but the coolest art to ever exist. Art is different to everyone and that is why we each indivulally decide what kind of art we like and how we express it, but you can't tell any kind of artist his art isn't art. Even if it's horrible it is still art. Anything mankind creates with his hands is art, liked or not.

Toast

The break down of words into today's world literally doesn't mean anything. As Atwood says, "electricty skip that." Basically words are something we decided needed a common meaning, whether or not that was how it was in the beginning that is how it is today. No one cares if names are important, if we wanted we could change them in an instant, we don't understand the importance of a name and therefore can change it. If we can't explain what toast is we might as well say, "I am toast", but isn't that because we don't have the knowledge, not necessarily that it can't be explained. The breakdown of words is simply that we haven't learned how to articulate what needs to be said. None of what I said really matters though because in our world everyone says that toast could mean a koala or whatevevr else you want it to mean and the actual meaning no longer matters.
