Examples: children believe that the sun can think and follows them around; because of such beliefs, they often add smiley faces on sketched suns. Cute.
But I am starting to believe that what makes art art is exactly what appeals to this supersense of us humans and why it communicates on such a subconscious level, and why even the most obscure/ conceptual/ surrealist art can have such a profound effect.

Would you consider ear-buds to be an i-pod type accessory or not? The cashier at the store told me they are not. I think salespeople ought to not argue small points, especially when the coupon did not specify what an accessory is and if it was only for official i-pods and that the coupon also included something non-ipod-related which I cannot recall right now. I don’t care so much about the small savings it would have given me as I do about my repulsion of rude salespeople and their perverse desire to say no sometimes.

“Pathos truly is the mode for the pessimist. But tragedy requires a nicer balance between what is possible and what is impossible. And it is curious, although edifying, that the plays we revere, century after century, are the tragedies. In them, and in them alone, lies the belief — optimistic, if you will, in the perfectibility of man.”
Arthur Miller
From Kurt Vonnegut’s New York Times obituary.
To Mr. Vonnegut, the only possible redemption for the madness and apparent meaninglessness of existence was human kindness. The title character in his 1965 novel, “God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater, or Pearls Before Swine,” summed up his philosophy:
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’ ”
It’s apropos for me at this moment to read Vonnegut’s writings about the banalities of consumer culture. Why are the people who I think would understand the ridiculousness of today’s society dead?

- -jejune…I like that one.
It’s apropos for me at this moment to read Vonnegut’s writings about the banalities of consumer culture. Why are the people who I think would understand the ridiculousness of today’s society dead?And where are those that would take their place? They’re no where to be found.
It’s sad that the revolutionaries who have a voice and try to bring things to light are being muffled out. In music for instance, Zach de la Rocha talks about social causes and injustices but it’s not given it’s due when the media’s super-saturated with pop princes/princesses and half naked beauty queen contenders. Maybe I’m being paranoid but it just seems like the governnment must really be pleased by our collective dumbing-down.
