Culture, carved with the “knife of discontent!”

Culture, Monument carved with the knife of discontent…snots al

I want to do what I want, when I want, and I want it now…says the grandchildren of the “ME” generation

This seed of contempt was first seen in the ME GENERATION of the fifty’s, fermented in the home of the upper class.
The slippery slope was off to a great start. This generation I chose not to to participate in gave birth to the “WHO ME” generation, the slope growing more slippery, provided their parents with their first grandchild, the NOT ME generation.
It is difficult to name the following generation except to anticipate that it will be named the “NOT ME EITHER” generation. It is this that I hope to intercept, and impact America, their is no time to lose, for it will be too late, as in Rome and all that fell with it.
The world had evolved post WWII …for now to “Keep up with the Jones” the need for a two family income was paramount, Children now came second. The world of Visa, Mastercard has arrived.
Compensation for the lack parental love and devotion came in three forms.
1. Material things.
2. No boundaries.
3. No expectations
So much of what needs to be said is not being said by anyone. Many point of views. cultural, political, social have been stifled. Contempt for authority bred by modern-era parenting of “when I have time” has defined our youth of the past, modeling today’s behavior for the children of tomorrow.
The GOTCHA MEDIA, provides leads to the legal community to create what is simply an ongoing and growing litigious enviornment that precludes positive and cooperative interaction (yes, civilized) with those who disagree, regardless of the sides taken.
Add the dynamic of enabling the performance lacking citizenry and what has been created, but for survival alone, is a politically incorrect enviornment. To me it is Inpolitically correct and it is the basis of the thesis for “Beyond Puke.” http://www.beyondpuke.com
The lack of boundaries parents demand is a direct result from the guilt felt when given things instead of love

Pop Culture WHORES trumping Culture! –

The pop culture fashion, men wearing striped suits, plaid shirts, and a polka dot tie, no memory of yesterday, no tradition that cuture breeds, just today’s self-gratification dejeur, should remember you don’t mix stripes and plaids, never mind adding polka dots. Culture would preclude the need for this lesson.

Culture understood is perspective gained. More concerned with the gratification of others and self. Must easier to be popular than to stand for what is right. Yesterdays lessons, and the culture from which is bred has been met with absolute indifference. (The opposite of love is not hate…its INDIFFERENCE).

We have lost our way, it is Be…Yond puke….

How many of our “leaders” could, if given without warning, pass a standard High School Senior History Test.

So, that which we are made of as in generations, four score minimum, would be lost to todays, latest gossip column.

Politicians turning into talk show hosts, actors, comedians into politicians, “personalities” now media stars, news people, the Nostradamus.

From a child in the 50’s I wondered as I observed the power of celebrity and how my peers all fell for the same illness. It grew more intense over the years,…I don’t think I was in Junior High School when I would determine that a movie star could probably run for and win the presidency.

This is sloppy writing, but I’m so fed up, and I think much quicker and my need to get this out is paramount. I have a violent history, one that prison didn’t deter…I could easily shoot someone. Getting this off my chest is greater than my desire to be considered a wonderful writer. Trust me…the pieces you see on this blog, to the degree to which you enjoy the writing, or at least understand its sense of writing talent…believe it was edited.

All of these rants are a Tony original, I have been thinking about this crap for ions, and frankly, no one gets it…people are really just stupid. Man, you are judged by only you and that which is greater than you…outside of that…..get over it, man…it doesn’t matter…..lets no forget who we are.

PS. Feel sorry for this self described Experiencial Social Philosopher, ex con, self made publisher to date, of Az Tourist News….see http://www.aztourist.com perhaps you would like to volunteer to edit…simply do so and email to me, I will more than likely thank you.

Culture vs. POP culture! Are we NUTs or what?!?!?

To understand one’s culture you must know your history. Well we all know that the understanding of History takes work. Remember Venuti’s Maxim, “Work is when you prefer to do something else.” So, lets not work at knowing our History, realizing our culture….instead, like the children we are, lets talk about POPculture.

Celebrities, hollywood, the order of the day, with no reflection to yesterdays challenges, deeds, and rewards, we replace with Opportunity, fame, & celebrity. Aah PopCulture, simply BEYONDpuke.
