There were no other options and I enjoyed the people, so I continued after I left college. I eventually moved on to other arts, but did not belittle SD because it had a cloudy heritage. Just because something or someone does not conform to YOUR expectation, does not make them or it a bad thing. Just not in line with what you expect. In my world, that is called being closed or narrow minded. Judgemental tendancies cannot lead a person to enlightenment, regardless of how loud they shout.
