It seems to me that these people in general are fairly unhappy people, and despite the popular saying, it is my understanding that money can bring happiness in the form of stability.

    I don’t know if that last part is true in every culture.

        I’d personally be flattered if someone stole my art.

            Oh yeah, I wouldn’t be able to kid myself about that, that’s true.

          No, if you were an artist that has pieces out you do not want it stolen and copied.

          That’s like saying you wouldn’t mind if a stranger took your child at the park.

            I create art for the enjoyment of creating art, please steal it. Start with the july issue.

            In 2001 one of the first pieces of art I posted to the internet was quickly stolen by Eric Bauman of Ebaum’s World. Shortly after, I actually had people start accusing ME of stealing it from Ebaum’s World. I realized that day, that the general public are idiots, and if I share my art with them it’s no longer mine and at best becomes part of the cultural zeitgeist.
