I would just like to say that I never quoted Juan Atkins and I never
claimed to. I sent my post not to pretend I knew what he said but what
my impressions of what I read. My goal was to begin a dialogue of this
article to clarify the important ideas in it. A few people did post me
back with constructive thoughts. These people had the decency to know
that I was curious. The article left a bad taste in my mouth because I
too would like the realization of a social utopia. Luckily, some of the
messages I received helped me to see where Atkins was coming from.
Isn't that the purpose of dialogue? I don't read something and try
to see the negative in it first. That path leads people nowhere. We
end up just talking to hear ourselves talk.
Guess what? I learned something that I wouldn't have if everyone
would have dismissed my post or wrote me back with some sarcastic
remark.
