Messages from the American cultural landscape

Have a deep and thoughtful idea? Keep it to yourself. No one wants to hear it.

Looking for a hero? Just look for the white teeth, big muscles, large breasts and celebrity status. YOu can't go wrong.

Feeling like you need to rethink your personal values? Go shopping. You' soon give up that foolish idea.

What does society value most? Look at the paycheks.

Feeling anxious and unsettled? Just stay true to your faith in consumerism, and corporate America will take care of you?

Uneasy about democracy? Accept that it's just a way for the wealthy to hire the best lawyers, get the best justice, employ the most lobbyists, get the most favorable legislation, use the most energy and take up the most air space.

Looking for integrity? Good luck.

Looking to continue to fight the good fight? America always offers hope.
