If half the world's population decides that their life's calling is to smear their feces on a wall and admire the aesthetic, then I guess the other half will just have to work twice as hard to support them, eh?

I cannot imagine a more undignified existence than to be supported by the efforts of others. Disability and unemployment and economic dislocation excluded, of course.
