   [shrug]  okay. imo art is born out of asking the questions, not having the   
   answers. However I'd like to see a few more clear-headed  *journalists* out   
   there, LOL.   
      
   People don't have to be tortured in order to be creative, they just have to   
   be themselves. And no can dictate how to best be yourself. That's your   
   responsibility.  [insert everything Tammy said here].   
      
   George needs to find his own balance in life and I'm sure he's working on   
   that. All we is know is what we read, and most of that has been digested,   
   distorted, and re-arranged before it ever reaches us. The way we respond to   
   information about him tells us a lot more about ourselves than it does about   
   him.  Thinking we know what's best for someone, based on 4th hand   
   information, can ONLY be a fool's errand imo.   
      
   That being said, my observation is that he enjoys dating women who are   
   relationship-oriented right up until they start demanding the relationship   
   part :-).
