Mr. Abootman, kindly set yourself adrift.

The gumball and the buy one, get one free coupon at Bennigan's just didn't do it.

Carlyle was dead on, both sides got greedy.

Corporate greed! Maximum efficiency! Outsourcing! Profit!
Soon all the work will be done by chinese and indian children who will write 4 episodes for a nanocent and sign a scientology-like million year cross-generation contract for the BIG FACELESS STUDIO OF AMERICA
(B.F.S.O.A!?) Ha- ha- ha! (-_-)

In my opinion, as a writer myself, it's not about the money. It's about sharing what you learned, what your thinking and what you know. look at Jesus Christ, does he get payed when he preaches? No!

And it's not that I wouldn't want to get payed when I write articles or stories, it's just that for me, writing is not all about the money.

do you honestly think brainlessly pitching shoes is harder than writing an episode of full house? You have clearly underestimated the cleverness of writers and OVERestimated what it takes to be a lawyer. These days ANYBODY with enough resolve could take the bar, but not everyone has the wit and NATURAL talent and creative ability to be a writer. True, there is crap on the tube today, but even the CRAP is hard to write! Most people dont know how to write comedy because most people are BORING!

I have a challenge for you, write your won comedies and stop expecting society to entertain the shit out of you for free if you are not willing to give writers their due wages.
