A lot of energy gets wasted on definitions of art.  I
won't bother with that here except to say, if such
carnage can be considered art, then one has little
choice other than to toss out the mamby-pampy
"all-art-is-good-art" pablum so popular these days and
admit that some art can be wicked, plain and simple.

Then our job as artists becomes to engage bad art with
good.
