I'm sure I'll regret saying anything about this, but sometimes we can't resist living dangerously. I've been reading this and seen my own sentiments echoed and felt that rather than be redundant I'd just stay out of it. If Mike wants to drink Pepsi Lite, it's his business!

However, my objection to what Kinkade is doing is not that his paintings are not technically good (although too swooney for me), not that he is unbelievably successful and I'm not, but that he is leading unsuspecting people down his primrose path and some day when those people who spent over $100,000 on their "collection" find out their "investment" didn't appreciate, they will be out all that money when they could have used the money to wisely invest (with some help) in some original work. Now he's bringing religion into it too, I saw him say "My wife & I pray over each painting." Must be his next marketing segment.

So try drinking seltzer with a slice of lemon or lime in it next time.
