Our ideas do not get alot of attention within the artistic community or the dominant media culture but perhaps we can help each other to build the culture of life.

I mean, aren't art and artists supposed to tell us the "truth"? Of course, it takes a lot of courage to face down bullies. However, my own experience has convinced me that the majority of people in any gathering feel more bullied than bullying. Ms. Fortin may have been surprised by the response to her own truth-telling.

Definitely, eloquence helps a lot. Some learn eloquence and strong communications skills from their parents, but for the rest of us, there’s Toastmasters. Writing a play, a book, a letter to the editor, talking to your own child, all will improve, if you work at it. God has lots of say in how things go, but people also have some say.

It seems to me that all artists struggle (For that matter, don't we all?). There is the real struggle of making the art really good and then there is the struggle to get somewhere with really good art. I find the whole story about the BELLA movie to be pertinent. Not a lot of money, not a lot of time, not a lot of support but a lot of recognition. There's folks out there who will back good work. The Tim Tebow ad for the Super Bowl is interesting. The New York Times, right, the New York Times, ended up supporting the showing of this Pro Life ad. Why? It seems that they think people have the right to see things. Someone somewhere had the vision and the determination to get this thing done. I don’t see that Pro Life people involved in Art, nor their art, needs to be hidden.
