"It's still the same old story..." - Rick, in Casablanca
What is American culture? It's whatever's on the menu board at Walmart; it's the manifest desires of vast legions of idiot children of the rich; commanding tables, yachts, your lover, your banker; everything at all times, easily and disgustingly.
This is the wonderful world of Conservative Republican goals achieved. It's money money money the likes of which the world has never seen and it's all there is anymore - money and the plan and desire for more money.
There is no art world, revered and followed by young people; there is no "Great American Novel" about to be published - only Joe Scarborough cash-raiser books of political derangement; there is no American Way because money is all that you need. Screw Hemingway, get Monet out of the way, and what's that Warhol crap?
Americans sail outward in darkness to the screech of Harpie music, jettisoning their culture and indulging the unquenchable appetite for Golden Mousse - trapped by choice within the same old story of human corruption.
"Of course it's the same old story. Truth usually is the same old story." - Margaret Thatcher
