@loved: thanks for the Wayne White suggestion...I was waiting for someone to point out that connection.

I think everyone needs to calm down about the definition of art. All people should have the right to be creative and make "objects" that they enjoy. As someone that has two fine arts degrees, sells my art, and has a higher degree in Arts Admin and works for one of the "big fancy" museums in the US I am not at all offended by calling any number of objects, craft projects, or experiments "art."

The only people that "lose" when we define "art" in the broadest possible terms are the people that make the most money off of it...the Gagosians, Koons, and Lauders of the world... And do we, the creative 99%, really care if we piss off the art-snob 1%?

Just a note to those who feel guilt-free about using bleach and other harsh chemical cleaners...while some alternatives might not kill all of the same germs as quickly as "traditional" cleaners, they really do quite an effective job of it. What's more, if you look at the breadth of science related to cleanliness in our homes it's very clear that not only are harsh chemicals toxic to our bodies but that having a completely sterile home is questionable as to it's benefit to our immune systems.

Even with bleach and ammonia you will still leave behind germs and dirt because of "missing a spot," human error, etc. So why not clean your home in a way that is better for your health AND for the environment.

Let's not forget that the earth is our home, too.
