I'd say you were stretching it a bit there...

Would you agree that if you don't learn from history you're doomed to repeat
it?  That's where I see art having its place.   To teach us about the
mistakes we make and help us from making them again.  Too often throughout
our history people have been told to keep quiet.  It is the writers and the
poets and the artists and the playwrights who refuse to abide with the
silence.  Television, as we have seen in the past few years, is all too
pleased to remain silent.  And fluff is the top selling entertainment.
Maybe because the truth hurts.
