“Capitalism has defeated communism.
It is now well on its way to defeating democracy.”

Values
WHAT VALUES
Who co-opted our values
Who changed the primary meaning of the word
Who dared to stare at the face of God
and say, “Who are you?”
and, “How much?”
When did values change to only mean
deal
sale
cheap
bargain
When did the noun co-opt the verb
Will we ever be able to recover
prize
cherish
appreciate
those things
which cannot be defined
by material value
Maybe some day
it will be an innocent child
who recovers the truth
and once again
focuses and directs
away from materialism
the values of humanity
breathing new life
into old meanings
THE NEW [ and evolving] REALITY
TRUISMS FOR THE NEW MILLENNIUM
Privacy has become a myth.
The less things cost the more you want.
To go against the company IS to go against the state
and will not be tolerated.
More technology = unrealistic expectations
Etiquette has evolved –
You can now talk to friends around the world
while you are on the toilet evacuating your bowels
You will know more than you want to know,
and more than you need to know.
Greater choices increase dissatisfaction
The more dependent we become on technology,
the less capable we become.
WHEN WE WERE HUMAN:
A new exhibition in 2020 depicting life
when humanity was purely a biological life form.
….more to come….
... on being and becoming ...
