Usually people are afraid to say that because most people are afraid that the winners of said awards will call them losers. Well, whatever.<BR/><BR/>Awards for art is retarded. I can see people getting an award for a footrace, the winner is clear, the athlete who took the most steroids.<BR/><BR/>How do you measure steroid levels in works of art? Each piece of art is doing a slightly different thing or in the case of a great work of art, a completely new thing. <BR/><BR/>How to compare a foot racer vs. a hang glider? It doesn't even make sense.<BR/><BR/>It is ridiculous to think band can battle it out unless they slap each other around with their bass guitars.<BR/><BR/>So I hate awards because they are stupid and don't make any sense unless it is for biting someone's ear off.<BR/><BR/>I also think that awards increase contention and unhappiness. I am also a cranky, old bastard.<BR/><BR/>Lao Tzu Agrees:<BR/><BR/>"Not to honor people of worth will keep the people from contention"<BR/><BR/>FredFredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03297322821136176923noreply@blogger.com
