Creative People

So, things have not changed very much over the centuries. If you are a man, or a woman of ideas, you probably are considered expendable by the bookkeepers, the MBA's, those who continue to run our world. Your job is at risk, your contributions are unrecognized, and always undervalued.

Those who control whether your family will be housed and fed care not about the nuances and subtleties you bring to their "products." They also remain oblivious to their own weaknesses, their lack of vision, their utter lack of social responsibility.

In the eyes of history, those who control our fate may be no more than the dust under our feet. You and I, by contrast, are even less, just roadkill; history records our deaths and our failures, never quite able to estimate the contributions we tried, and might have made, to the mindless enterprises that dominate this age.

Money vs. art. It isn't even a match worth watching. We all know who loses when the deck is thus stacked.
