Below is part of a post I read from Dean Shareski's blog Ideas and Thoughts. I thought it was a great post. Click on the link to read the post in it's entirety.

Dean Shareski asks: Are we insane?

Imagine it’s 1991. A principal of a large school has students that are doing some really nice writing and art. Imagine of a large publishing company comes to the school and wants to try something different. They offer the principal a chance for every student in the building the opportunity to publish any or all works of their choice. They’ll publish these books of writing and/or art and distribute them to libraries and book stores all over the world. And they’ll do it all for free.

The principal listens to their offer and says, “No thanks.”
