Art is something I'm very passionate about. My current lack of ability to pursue my own art is not helping.
Individual merit is another issue I'm passionate about. I have an almost randroid disdain for people who feel they're entitled to control and denigrate those who actually make the effort to be creative and productive, but are too lazy to make the effort to produce anything creative themselves.
There's an unfortunately huge undercurrent of anti-intellectualism in American culture.
