What does writing amount to?   To writers, the question is irritating because the implication is 'doing' something is better than writing about it.    If we write about the physics of climate change on Science 2.0, or idiotic non-solutions to climate change like hybrid cars, ethanol and cap-and-trade schemes, we are not doing as much as someone who plants a tree or buys a Prius or whatever.

Shakespeare is an exception, argues Stephen Marche of National Post.  In fact, he is the most influential man who ever lived, he says.

What if Shakespeare had never lived? -  

Stephen Marche, National Post
