(Part of a thread of comments in the Los Angeles Times about the Writers Strike)
Writers actually do more than stare at their navels, and we all greatly value teachers, nurses, doctors, truck drivers and everyone else who delivers essential services to our lives. But writing has value, too. Hopefully at our best we entertain and illuminate human behavior.
We just want a tiny portion of the huge sums that all the big media moguls are confident they are going to make from the web and other future outlets. We should all endeavor to claim our full worth - while never diminishing anyone else's.
