The voting season.The voting season is upon us and as a pundit I've avoided taking sides. I'm an artist, a predictor of the future, so I don't like putting a finger on the scale. You've got to know how to grow food, cause "Progress is our most important product". Salvador Doli wouldn't have been a good President of the United States, but then again, things are a bit surreal. We're a part of nature, so when the lights go out don't be surprised. The deception is fiat money, and private workers are expendable.

MUSIC Charlie Chaplin, Harry Manfredini, Lalo Schifrin

Just more dangerous. I can't tell you there's good news. I can't lull you into believing everything is going to be alright. Only the propagandists can do that. The government will never be able to pay back what it owes. Consumerism has created ugly behavior bringing an age of continual unrest. Beirut was destroyed by a single explosion. We've never been safe, just more dangerous.

MUSIC Hans Zimmer, Kryzsztof Penderecki, Johann Johannsson

Who's winning? Everything could be for sale. You thought trouble only existed in third world nations, but the electricity isn't guaranteed to stay on. Traffic lights could stop working. My therapist says I should be more hopeful, but a living Artificial Intelligence could put a new meaning to life. Go answer the door. It's the past being destroyed. Destroying the past won't bring you a better future. You've never been free.

A force of nature. There's going to be more than a minute wait for the train. Delays are going to last a long time. Consumerism has brought some unpleasant behavior. White culture took over North America and said be like us. No two people are alike. Injustice has a long standing history in human behavior. You can't own a tree, it's a spirit. Culture can't easily be replaced.

MUSIC Sidney Bechet, Bix Beiderbecke, Big Bill Broonzy, Clannad,
Lisa Gerrard and Denez Prigent

Real trouble. Serious damage has occurred and you should expect psychological, financial, and health concerns to persist. This nightmare isn't going to disappear. There are some people I don't like. Age old military conflicts are about to erupt. Action for order will be called for. I belong to a culture, all be it, imperfect. Injustice runs rampant in some cultures. You can't erase history.

MUSIC Artie Shaw, Julio Iglesias, Perry Como, Ella Fitzgerald, Bing Crosby, Gordon Macrae, Johnny Mathis, Tommy Dorsey

Erasing a culture. Economics cause cultures to collapse. In the recent past public parks were built for public enjoyment. Today, public enjoyment is to tear down or destroy. Entertainment parks are designed for making money. Forget about being in nature when you can be a full time zombie living at home. There are some people I don't like and that includes some cultures . But then again, who owns what?

MUSIC Alexander Boradin, Malcolm Arnold, Franz Liszt

Who do you trust? Can you trust without verification? I trusted my dogs more than my fellow human beings. Tolerance, understanding and forgiveness are cultural values. I'm retro cause I believe in creativity. I don't destroy art. The facts just the facts. Are we an economic basket case? Roman slaves built the Pantheon but I wouldn't destroy it. I don't destroy my culture cause I wouldn't know what to replace it with.
