Madeline St John on 06 Nov 12This quote is pretty awesome and I think its true. People tend to listen more if you actually have some work and creativity in your complaints. Like Banksy, making art about problems in society. I think satire is also a good way to complain about things. It gets people's attention. The point of complaining is to highlight the problem.

There is something about everyone learning the same thing, though, that builds community (albeit not a very divers one...).
