Culture

 A cultured society is one with an independent print and news media owned by its native citizens and indigenous publishing houses with independent facilities for printing which are not dependent on government funding or foreign custom.

....

The opposite to the print media and real culture such as poetry,song and verse is street drama and naturalistic mimickry. In Africa,natural dramaturgy imitates in speech and manners the hollow call of the macaques. America,too,is full of this offensive,arcane mimickry relayed by barren old maids on television,in theatre and on screen but...

The question will be posed:Would we be better off without drama in such crude, naturalistic settings?

No. Street dramaturgy or hot pursuit is better than no feedback. The companion to street drama should be verbal poke,comedy or laughter.

The 'players'

It takes all sorts to make a world and 'there's nowt as funny as folk '.

My sentinel warnings about street drama and lumpen and unemployed proletarian misrepresentation originates with concern over the connection to the police. The Irish, Dutch,German and French street players are a malign and foreboding force at the present time. Many of the lost souls dragged into street mannafestations are resigned to the fact that "the whip changes but the lash goes on". They vote for intermediaries to the police because it seems that nothing can change prescient reality.

At a world-weary sixty years,I am wont to surrender and declare as I did at nineteen years, "Vamamos, muchachos!" or "We'll take to the hills and raise the clans."
