Aren't people interested in murder, psychopaths and so on because this is all tvs and theatres put on? I hate meat, you know, but if someone feeds me just meat for, say, 20 years, there's a big chance I'll need it for the rest of my life. There's also a chance that I'll hate it and I will never want to see it before me but I think the former has more of a chance of happening. If people are interested in bussiness why do they choose to do theatre? Why not work in a bank? I think that exactly because people are "numbed by the long hours of dry...work" they should be provided with a different sort of art. I didn't necessarily call for heavy stuff, just for something decent, aesthetically pleasing and with a bit of a message behind it. C'mon, that's not so hard...

I think that exactly because people are “numbed by the long hours of dry…work” they should be provided with a different sort of art. I didn’t necessarily call for heavy stuff, just for something decent, aesthetically pleasing and with a bit of a message behind it. C’mon, that’s not so hard…

People are worked out so much everyday that their brains just can't take it anymore, they need something simple which tingles the surface of their brain which is already numbed by the long hours of dry, continuous work.

I have been absent from the blogging world for a while now and the reason is just lack of inspiration. I tend to get uninspired during the warm months when all my creative energy goes towards stuff like parks, beers and large areas of water. This also means that I’ll probably be posting regularly for quite a while now since things get rougher up here (“up north”:)) that down there weather wise. Just weather wise! Yes, we’re all having fun here watching your elections. The problem is that we’re not really immune when it comes to some “bright” ideas originating in the states and very hot now because of the elechion rush . An example is the pro-life movement which is rapidly catching size here too. I agree with you 100% on the socialist issue. I’ve become allergic to right-wing ideas lately, especially since in Europe such movements like neo-Nazism are quite fashionable. I hear that America is full of little neo-Nazi nests too. Too bad... I also believe that a little leftist touch always brings a certain detachment from the capitalist obsessions. Aaand I’m officially on the black list in my country for writing this! See you around, Richard! Hola Richard,

Thu, 16 Oct 2008 23:17:57 +0000 http://andazazen.wordpress.com/?p=29#comment-70 I can't really say I know much about what's happening in your politics up north. :) But regardless of how uninspiring those politicians might be, just consider that at least you have a national, single-payer healthcare system, which neither of the major presidential candidates here in the U.S. would ever support. Be thankful that there isn't a big spotlight and hoopla around your election, because U.S. elections get endless attention for candidates who never offer any real alternative. As Noam Chomsky says, two factions of the Business Party, every time. I guess after a number of years of Stalinism, it must seem great to have supposedly free elections, no matter how much of the choice might be an illusion. But communism as a social/economic philosophy does't at all exclude democracy (although there is always a question as to how democratic bourgeois-parliamentary democracy really is). As you know, I myself have taken an interest in some affairs in South Asia...and have always been interested in the political developments in the Southwest Indian state of Kerala. There, when communists have been in power, democratic participation has been consciously increased. There are still hammer and sickle flags everywhere (so I hear), but it's democratic. As you probably know, there have often been democratic communists in Western Europe too. How close anyone has come to real communism is another question, but I think even a touch of socialism will contribute to a less brutal society than right-wing capitalism, as people are learning all over again now that the economies are crashing and misery spreads. And the European council communist movements, which greatly interested me for a while, advocated a radical and direct kind of democracy. Oh, well, didn't mean to clutter your comments with a long lecture on politics, so I'll stop there. You haven't posted for a while, so welcome back... Looking forward to more of your messages on music and culture. As you see, I've turned my blog entirely into a sort of Bollywood movie blog. So, we're not going to be matching post themes the way we did before, but I hope you'll stop by, and I'll check in here regularly too.
