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.

Are we NUTs or what?!?!? http://beyondpuke.com/blog/2009/01/01/american-culture/ http://beyondpuke.com/blog/2009/01/01/american-culture/#comments Thu, 01 Jan 2009 16:10:03 +0000 admin http://beyondpuke.com/?p=76 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.
