Something to think about...

Something to think about:
You can reach a situation where things or refinement and culture can be considered elite and things that are crass and ignorant can be considered to be real and of the people. When you begin to have the mass and the populace believe that they should strive for something that is not worth striving for, then tremendous amounts of energy goes into the worthess and the maintenance of that which is worthless. It's a battle we fight, even within ourselves. You have to actively pursue knowledge. It's out there for you. You gotta go out and get it, you gotta want it and you have to keep wanting it.
Wynton Marsalis on American Masters.

Yeah, you have to fight back against what is piped down your gullet, select it yourself. Or you just fall a little short somehow.

Another reason why Blogs are Good.
