Description

Specialties

There was a time, perhaps not so long ago, when the public looked up to, idealized, and cared about things of true value; things like public libraries, old time radio programs, good neighbors, unbiased newspapers, intelligent conversation, friends and family. People wanted a simple quality of life, and struggled valiantly to get it. Times have changed in recent years, and commodities of scale and nationalized mass production have altered the public consciousness to make each of us demand more while expecting less. Our popular culture is marred by the the hand of an ever present mass media machine, an advocate for constant consumption, tempting the masses with the false promise of happiness via the almighty Purchase.

History

Established in 2010.

However, there is a quiet argument that can be heard approaching from the dark alleys and small rooms across this country. People are beginning to see beyond the scope of the billboards and magazine headlines that have for so long clouded their perspective. Slowly, we are starting to see what was muddled by all the clutter. We begin to recognize the need for better products, products that fulfill needs instead of creating them. We begin to recognize the need for social conversations, the need for better education, the need for real values, the need to read more and watch less. And if the streets are quiet enough, and if you are listening closely, you will hearthe voice of the people in a unified, steady resonance. You will hear them call for change. You will hear them call for good. You will hear them expect more, and demand less.

I am a believer in conversation. I am an agent for dialogue. I am a relic of an ancient time when people thought that a discussion should involve more than one person. As I write this, two quotes from two very well known and very different authors come to mind. The first: «A conversation is a dialogue, not a monologue. That’s why there are so few good conversations; due to scarcity, two intelligent talkers seldom meet.» And the second: «Conversation should be pleasant without scurrility, witty without affectation, free without indecency, learned without conceitedness, novel without falsehood.» The gentlemen Truman Capote and William Shakespeare are the authors of those lines, respectively, and I must say, the guys knew what they were talking about. So it is with these notions that I resolve to approach this forum, and attempt to do my part to engage in conversations that are intelligent, pleasant, witty, free, learned and novel. Won’t you please join me?
