I've always been intrigued by the idea of a "post-modern" society.
Is it something which is modern but chained to a telegraph pole?
Is it something which is so far in front of itself that it doesn't know
where it is at all?
Is it something that essentially depends on the soulless pastel colours of
1990's banks, cafes and offices?
Is it simply a nice piece of mystification which allows the real estate
agents, stock brokers and their confreres (who ignore the question
completely) to profit from the confusion of the academics and literary
buffs at the expense of all the rest of humanity?

Well yes, this is nice and good, but, I fear, a certain recipe for
obliteration at the hands of McDonalds, Exxon, Microsoft, the World Bank
and the Gnomes who used to be in Zurich but are now to be found everywhere.

No, Yes, but the problems in Australia in 1999 ( or AI 111 - after invasion
111) are not the same as in BI 1 (before-invasion 1)

ps how about the Archie Roach / Paul Kelly song "From little things , big
things grow as a preamble?
