Detritusboy links us to this open letter to DJ Spooky concerning the state of the union of blah blah blah.

The author, Jaron Lanier (oh, that's gotta be a pseudonym... it's obvious he's a groupie for teenyfolkers Evan & Jaron and Blue Oyster Cult's Allen Lanier), makes a lot of generalizations and doesn't really back 'em up.

I originally had my rebuttal to Lanier posted here, but due to its length, it really needed a page of its own. Sorry 'bout the banner ad.
