Been asking myself

- and answering questions - this week, about what purpose it serves to make art in a country where 30 million people live below the poverty line. In last night's post-show discussion, I was challenged by several people about using four-letter words in my work. My favourite comment was:

Your work is true and just, but it is not righteous, because of the language you use.

I said the only true obscenities, as far as I'm concerned, are poverty and violence. And when we care more about our children living in a society where poverty and violence are endemic, than we do about them hearing simple, honest words about bodily functions, then we'll be on our way to building the world they deserve to inherit from us.
