Willful ignorance is a choice, being straight or gay is not. Climate change is real and man has contributed to it. Whether you believe that now or not is immaterial. You have to wait to be convinced. To think man has not contributed to the change of our climate means you have bought the propaganda and your pride prevents you from even trying to listen to the realities of people who study it. Now, the melting of the ice, many will say, is a natural occurrence, and it is. However, man has proven to be the most destructive force on the planet next to water. Our planes, our cars, our chemicals, the burning of tires like they recently did in Texas, all point to mans contribution to climate change as a whole.

An artist in the truest sense has within his/her personality a mode of thinking that lies in between all the various modes of thought that must be employed in some way in order to get through each day. This mode of thinking bares constant witness to human atrocity and malice; not by choice, but by some thing that has been talked about and denied in various ways throughout recorded history.
A certain proportion of artists are unable to function normally in society because, in their eyes, the rules are more of an obstacle to be cleverly avoided than anything else. This of course leads them into some form of societal trouble. Other artists find through their content, context, and analysis of what they see a feeling of undeniable complexity filled with indescribable things that must be sorted out in some type of framework, some canvas, some type of something in some way.
Some people have no choice in this life and a true artist is one of them. Their real subjective pain should never be taken lightly because it is through their expression that they give life to the life they know, the one they see that holds no compromises to anything but change as it is seen through the one lens that is clearly identifiable to them... the one thing they can and have always counted on, Times Charge
