I give the nod to the artist, Homer didn't sell carpets.....

The untalented probably minded the store. I don't know what homer did, but I'll wager he didn't write epic's from birth.

I am a art lover,in fact on my trip to Paris I spent most of my time in the "Musee de Orsy" that have nothing but impressionist paintings,
Degas,La Trec,Vincent van Goch,and many others,while I appreciat all of there works and realy enjoy looking at them, I got much more enjoyment at the model engineres exibition in Earls Court in London,and at the science musium ,also in London.
That being said it was a difficult question for me to answer,I chose Art
for the simple reason I see art every where,the beautiful lines of a
Ducati,the simplicity of a Manx Norton,to me are art forms, art is a combernation of business and pleasure.
If you go into a coffee shop and order a piece of pie that is exactly what you get ,if you order the same thing in a 4 star restaurant ,you get some thing that is not just tasty but some thing with eye appeal.
I don't know where I am going with this ,but I'm sure you get the idea.

Well said, Mick.

Part of the problem with this poll was its insistence on drawing its participants into deciding between two, often, diametrically opposing points of view; as with the bussiness versus art question. It reduced core beliefs to opposing sides, with out the consideration of the possibility of a third. The shade of grey, if you will.
So instead of this,
A vs B an opposing viewpoint (the poll)

you can get this,

A (best) + B (best) = C(ab)
a triangulated viewpoint that can draw from the very
best of both "A" and "B" (life)

And another question.

How do totally unqualified idiots like bush & palin ever become governors? How do these two examples of brain dead politicians ever become governors of the United States?

How can two people who don't even read newspapers and books, two people who couldn't find their own asses with a map and directions EVER get this far up the political ladder?

My God, how many functionally illiterate, bona fide insane senators, congress folks, and governors ARE there?

Ah well....there is hope on the horizon.

He isn't running the country...yet...
But you can see it in his eyes...

And in the way he holds his shoulders...

The way he strides down the halls of power...

The way he answers the questions of reporters who aren't used to having them answered seriously...

The way he watches those around him, never missing a thing, never seeming to be off-guard...

The People's Business awaits him, and he knows it...

He is ready.

Welcome home, Mr. President-elect Obama...

Your people await you.

1. Capitalization matters -- pro-life people are for-life and against capital punishment. Most people are pro-life. "Pro-Life" as in the political movement, is anti legal abortion. They are of the authorative bent and want abortion illegal as a punishment for wonton sex. Or something like that; they are obviously not against abortion itself as their policies promote more abortions.

2. Can you say "figurehead" or "puppet"? They are just the sweet talking front men for the hidden seat of power.

3. That, along with what goes into sausages, is something you really do not want to know. I would place money on "majority" and would not be surprised at "vast majority."

This country is actually NOT run by our elected officials. It is run by the huge faceless Bureaucracy.

Speaking of dumming down America ,it has to start with the ouster of art and music from school ,as well as the removal of wood shop and metal shop,and then to top it all of the powers that be decided that the three "Rs" are more important,more dumming down right there,
Three Rs meaning reading righting rithmatic,why don't the call it
R W A ? , no child left behind my tushy,they are left behind at the get go, or gee gee for you late grads.
