I refuse to HAVE a community.

I am a pilgrim...a sojourner. I am happier providing my OWN culture. This way I can be friendly to all...since they are all strangers...and I swallow no hooks. I noticed when you follow the herd...like popular music and trends...one is easily lead...and when they notice their errors later...it is you left holding the bag, looking stupid. They just make their next piece of catchy junk, and it starts over again.

Remember "She Works Hard for the Money?"....I just don't want more garbage in my head. There are messages simmered in with the instrumentals. It is salesmanship...and what is being sold, sweetened, rhymed...is not always the most wholesome nourshment one could desire...and when you find out later what has REALLY stuck in your head...it is too late.

Sounds like a good rationalization for an introverted loner. Mind if I steal it? :-)

Last time I created my own culture, the doc made me take antibiotics for strep throat :)

Marketing to kids is thinly veiled in this regard. Damn those half-hour long commercials they call cartoons.
