Thanks for giving me the impetus to speak up:

Brian Sherwin, editor of Art Edge, just gave me the courage and words to speak up about having works of art thrown down our throats as "art" when they are all about shock and hype value.  For instance, "Sprinkling of Fate" , which is supposedly vomit sprinkled with gold dust (kind of makes me sick to even write this), is an example.  So, if you don't like the works of someone, have the courage to say so.  And, if you do like someone's work, have the courage to say so.
