Capitalism communism or socialism. Can also apply to the system of government.

It looks like Marx was right about capitalism.

Thanks Troy. A friend used to say, "Spade don't Fade. "

me too. Ace

I am a Black Man

before I was a male or female, or american. I was Black.

Cynique. Trump is just the capstone to two faced situation.

The decline started in the 80's. I mentioned references that hapened when they were either teenagers or weren't born. However you're a natural born leader. So people will defer to you.

Troy what I mean is you and people that lived pre computer have manners that are lacking these days. The industry is selling bits and experiences that aren't real in exchange for your time and more importantly your money. The people have decided. Trump is a necessary evil. And part if he coming transformation. He ia the flash point.

You're a sociological dinosaur , not a technological one. Trump is the mess we have to collectively clean because he is us or at least some of us. So things atr going according to plan.

Happy Birthday, Troy. Friends are gifts you give to yourself.

Trump is the most unifying divisive President.

There are people uaing technology to actually meet people. Socrates Cafe in Sydney on meetup.com, has thousands of members. People meet once a month to discuss a question. Classbunny.com Laneway. Were strated by a friend of a friend. In New York it used to be learning annex. In the last month i had dinner with twi people i met at Socrates Cafe. I also met my life partner through Socrates Cafe. I think the people on their phones may not be the same people who go out and do stuff and meet people. You also have a network of hackers anarchists and digital protestors. As witnessed by the Global March, which also had a political action plan. Facebook post also has been more informational concerning the T rump and what to do practically. I have seen the future and it will be. - Prince T rump and his methods makes me very optimistic. Hip Hop and Punk became the voice of a generation. Troy and Cynique you are pessimistic, yet you both are a beacon. You make thousands of people think. If three people are touched. They can change the world. People are never ready for change. Thats why we need visionaries explorers, investors and artist. They all show us how to take off the blinkers and see. It is the most exciting time to be on the planet. I am totally certain.

Yeah maybe you are right, but I hope you are not.

I have to say that sometimes i get nostalgic for the freedom that characterised New York nightlife. However I am enjoying my days I'm just more selective about my engagements.

You are sounding like Theodore Kazinski. Yesterday i was on the train and there were four high school kids reading the following : The Help, The wind up Bird Chronicles. I used to take the train from Jamaica to Wall Street to work in 1987. I used to carry two or three books and a walkman. A few people read the paper. Most stared into nothingness. A few people read: romance books were popular with women, Grisham was popular, occasionally commuters read something a bit heavier. I saw a guy walking and reading. I used to do this may start it up again. I have also asked commuters what they are reading and wrote it down or made reading suggestions. Troy you are just seeing the alienation that's always been there. I also had a stranger sit next to me and say can we put our phones down and talk. We did. We interact more through the technology and more deeply than we did in person. But we are dinosaurs. We remember kife before the net... catching flies. Generally you can ask a reader what's the book. Ironically readers are less introverted in that regard.

Some questions of demarcations aren't about boxes. The motive could be curiosity. When someone says my gay friend, my black or (adjective) friend they aren't just hyphenating they are showing their prejudice. Although in practice I agree with your hyphenated stayement Cynique. Just to be clear I neither want to define what is Black. Nor am I interested in fitting in categories that make people comfortable or uncomfortable. I try and spend aome time in different worlds. Is blackness color culture or some combination of the two.

I thought using Who would infer a question.

Note I am asking a question not defining the terms.

Blacker than thou

Boss Baby or Alpha Male Yeah you may be wrong.
