... Sounds like a nice crib! Like living in a Museum. Melting pot of cultures and all that. It is interesting that the pinnacle of Modernism, Classic Americana, hey day of capitalism,(1945 end of world war II) is also the beginning of Post modernism, the decline in many aspects, quality, "values" etc... Where everything goes... If you ask me, all those different Idols did it. It is Tiki's fault. Happened before with every empire, Egypt, Greece, Rome, Mexico, Spain... All the exterior influence is great and make the empire grow stronger, until It ends up diluting the local culture... Pre-classic, Classic, Post-classic... Happened before, is happening now and will happen again, If the world doesn't end soon, that is. Now we are living in late post-modernism... Ramones and the Sex Pistols started it... Or at least that is my theory...
Enough coffee for me.
