Is not the solution to national or world peace.

During WWII, Hitler sought to eliminate knowledge and books that spoke against his plans of world domination and broached talks of peace. I can't stand a pacifists but we can all agree, seeking arrangements that aid all of us to co-exist is the foundation of nation building.

How do you disrupt a Nation and crack it's foundation?

By allowing your known enemy to control the flow of creative expression.

My entire youth has a wide field of innovations derived from the creative mind. From which has come our accepted ideas of Science, Math, History, and Social behavior. Video games, Movies, the Internet, Comic books, Literature, Music, Athletics, Telecommunication, even Industrialized reform has been fortified by the creative minds who were lucky enough to dodge the Vietnam War. (Richard Russo is a prime example.)

Those who seek to cull the creative mind and blame innovators into the new American pass time, which unifies today's youth globally, Video games, and blame the American entertainment engine for the deaths of those in mass shootings, or daily headliners of terrorist attacks are again looking in the wrong direction for the beast of the closet that produces evil.

I really was not going to waste time on this subject. (Notice no art was conducted to illustrate how I might feel about it or poke fun at the issue. I did have some ideas of some good posters to create but I don't want to. It bores me.)

Feeling as an artist and supporter of Alternative Music, today's Pop Culture, yesterday's Heavy Metal, every video game known to man, porn, fast-food, red meat, new space missions, all things tech, and anything that brings people into an online chatroom or discord server to talk shop about our dreams and aspirations. That the many of you who read my blogs, already, are aware and support in yourselves the constructive and positive power of the creative mind and would encourage your children to fill their journals and sketch pads, phone databases, and CPU hard drives with blue prints of the next phase for creative and innovative opportunities.

The world has reached a point where Rappers, who were seen as escalators for sexual misconduct, R-Kelly appeal cases, and hate speech against the white congressional majority in Washington D.C., are winning and eligible for the Pulitzer Prize. One day I hope the same can be said for the writers and visionaries that put in the long hours to create virtual worlds built from man's fantasies for our children to walk through, from the comfort of their homes.

Safe from the violence that permeates the headlines of every newspaper, willing to take away the very safety net that keeps those young minds fused to the television set. (A device Conservative Christians still feel houses the Devil mind you.)

Guns, Video games, and R-rated movies. Oh dare I forget to mention porn and MTV, all of that has made a degenerate society and if we go back to the days of Betty White as Elizabeth or when there was not a single ethnic person to influence the mind of today's youth. That would include Anime, Comics, the Harlem Renaissance, Manga, Ghibli Studio's, Pokemon, Skate boarding, and American Football, pretty much anything fun and accumulates nearly a billion dollars a year in proceeds from the global youth. Then the world will be a better place...according to some politicians.

Sorry folks, no matter how rough things get, I just can't agree, culling the creative mind, to be the answer to world peace. Long live America's love for video games, comics, sex, and rock and roll!
