You make a good case. In fact, you make just the sort of case I was expecting people to jump on me yesterday and make. I was aware that I was only stating one side of the argument and leaving holes - hence my surprise when everyone leapt up to agree with me.
I think McLaren was talking about music, which was why I was emphasising that. Your dog examples make a good point. Maybe it's not "culture", but it is an example of normal people making a difference in a cause they believe in. (Though weren't most existing big charities originally set up because just one person noticed that someone had to be done, and set about doing it? Such things aren't confined to the internet age, though they are certainly made easier by it.)
