Coke-a-Doodle Doo!!

“A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking.” Andy Warhol

That one line got me going ... the material belongings we strive for ...as soon as it becomes common place it loses it's significance... so it isn't about the material value of the item itself now is it... it's about how exclusive the item is.. and how u can flaunt it for it's non-availablity to the general public..and then rub it in their face...so it can be cheap/expensive... old/new as long as it stands out and you can garner attention for possessing something they do not have and cannot easily get...so it is ADD ..topped with greed and gluttonous consumerist propaganda... would you like some fries with that?

so where does one draw the line .. or does one not think abt lines and narrow domestic walls that keep the apple orchards from growing into the woods dark and deep... My Captain Oh Captain I call out to thee, the one who made the lamb, can u sing me a song of a lad that has gone.. the unkindest cut of all would be to spend an eternity waiting with the alabatros around my neck...
