 By the way the claim that everyone is an artist -- ie that everyone may
make art does not mean that everything that everyone makes in thename of
art is either signivficant or interesting ewither conceptually or
theoretically -- its an empty statement up there with everyone is special
--  or unique for just being who they are -- achievement  sometimes does
make someone more special don't you think because they contribute something
to  others
