Do you read this stuff? Hopkins is an artist and has no PHD. How does this qualify him to be an expert?

Hmmm...If being an artist qualifies you, I can color in the lines of my grandson's coloring book. Does that count?

I would put more weight on Susan Clancy's work. At least she works in a psychology department, which makes her at least qualified to evaluate peoples mental health. Who knows, maybe she paints as well.

Read Clancy's (Susan and not Tom) book and then get back to us. I found it in the local library. You know where that is don't you? They have lots of books with words in them. They even let you borrow them without paying. Just remember to bring them back or they will ask you to pay for them.
