CN. I agree with what you've said though I ended my post a little abruptly, I got tired of typing. And yea I'm a bit older than many here and remember "tiki" from the late 50's and 60's and how wondrous it all seemed. I've also seen younger people who seem to be easily insulted by images that weren't meant to insult anyone, but were naive appropriations from many cultures to represent an idea not the reality. Then again now I've seen people complain that the local tiki bar isn't a tiki bar but a hawaiian bar who are part of the new generation of tiki "fans" though their comments seem ego driven and ignorant of the context and complicated history of this style, just a rambling observation. :)

aloha, tikicoma
