Ray, You said: “Harry can long for noble savages
while demeaning networks and connectivity . . . “ Where on earth do you get this idea? You must make it up as you write. Harry ******************************************** From:

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On
Behalf Of Ray Evans Harrell Ed, Crap is just "economie of
scale". Your complaint about survivor does not take into
account the "news as entertainment" cable news channels that pay
almost nothing for performers since life is the
performer. The perfect productivity. Make all of the
performers volunteers or payment a lottery. That drives the
serious programming onto the private for pay channels like showtime and HBO
with a little in PBS. (Not so great for upward mobility and
designated marketing will make the gulf wider) People can rob music on
the internet but when the "dung hits the wind machine" everyone
complains about the bad smell but denies culpability.
Productivity in labor creates a decline in quality in labor produced products.
Only in automated products does it not matter.
Quality and judgement are human traits not machines and that
requires professionalism on the part of the producer and
discrimination on the part of the consumer. Ed, you can't just crawl in a hole and retire. You
have to come up with a solution to the economic rules that have created this
situation. The theology of productivity and monetary value is the
root and it is rotting the tree. Harry can long for noble savages
while demeaning networks and connectivity and others can complain about the
education system as if their own views on culture and value had nothing to do
with it. But bemoaning your fate is beneath your considerable mind
and experience. I believe you see it correctly, now what are your
solutions? REH --- --- |
