capitalism kills creativity, when you must work to survive, you can never truly dedicate yourself to art exploration, as you are always forced to provide what the market asks for, rarely are you able to take risks on what the market has never seen before. 

hey househunting, i know there is a lot of awful stuff going on in the world right now but this one is way too close to home. This morning someone burned down the Islamic Center of the Eastside in Bellevue, WA, just across the water from Seattle. If you have any extra $$$ it would be great if you could donate to help them rebuild. a mosque in Redmond has recently been repeatedly vandalized, this is not an isolated incident.
