I don't sense that artists as such have an exceptional position from which to effect formal socio-economic politics, local, county, state, national. They seem to be as approximately disenfranchised-victimized as are most other Americans. How artists choose to conduct themselves and their arts in their standard plights seem to me to be their concerns individually and collectively. For myself, I know no particular proper personal patterned procedures for political response. I'm more interested in the possible than in the improbable. I believe more often in positive practical (sometimes subversive) activities rather than in obvious feats of exemplary philosophical idealisms. But, oh, hell, it's summertime and I want to be seasonally distracted - abstracted but I can't become so easily any longer.
