"Mere" Escapism
George RR Martin is one smart cookie. Give a listen to this audio interview he did with John J. Miller of the National Review Online. He starts off talking about the divisions (or lack thereof) between genres, and then midway through responds to the charge that much of sf/f is "mere" escapism, with a lively defense of escapism that resonates quite a bit with me.
