Communication is still the name of the game, but *interesting* is at least an _open_ game. Money is neither necessary nor sufficient. If you have something sufficient interesting -- and are willing to work at it -- you *can* get it in front of millions of people. Remember this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8Q-sRdV7SY The point isn't that getting attention is *easy*. The point is that you aren't dependent on gatekeepers. You can substitute sweat equity and ingenuity. If both you and your ideas are sufficiently creative and persevering, you can build an audience starting from virtually nothing. All it takes is time, hard work, and the right ideas. -- Ernie P. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
