Tiki mana refuses to be commercialized, or so it seems - General Tiki

Is this the END of the Tiki trend!? Not really, because it has not really happened yet. The growth is too slow for the fast buck makers. It is too complex for the one track minds (just look at today's AOL startpage babbling about Tikis and then having no satisfying reference to offer). It's fascinating to me to watch how different industries try to get ahold of Tiki and get frustrated because it doesn't deliver the expected "trend" revenue. In my opinion, Tiki will take it's own time, and do it in it's own way, hopefully through THE PEOPLE.
