Andrew Keen wrote a little book and propped it up like an artillery
 target out on the firing range.
While it pains me to direct any further attention
his way, it's still fun to blast holes in his waddling duck of an
argument.


" But Orville, the authorities say what we did is impossible."

A vast trove of listener feedback lights the fuses on the
fireworks, but there's very little debate. The premise of the
"Cult of the Amateur" is so LAME that laying out the
 reasons why is as difficult as eating a dish of ice cream.

But it's still yummy to eat the ice cream. :)
