Talk:Breaking My Silence

One wonders why they came...
Such people, especially artists and performers, why should they limit themselves to such a small audience/venue. It is not like (in the West at least) they didnt have freedom in their art. Anyone really outstanding would be able to make a living or at least have wide acclaim from the Surface world. SO were most of the 'artists' in Rapture really hacks, failed artists running away, banned for pushing really bad taste?. Now you might get some from restrictive places like behind the Iron Curtain, but for those, why not just escape to the West then? Immediately after WW2 economies in much of the World  were very bad and perhaps a free ticket out of poverty/disorder might be offered to outstanding talent. Some may have been sychophants to rich patrons who came to Rapture.Testxyz (talk) 12:54, October 12, 2013 (UTC)
