Ok, I was watching a thing on Rome on the history channel, always been a history buff and just enjoy it. Anyways, don't you find it interesting that in antique rome as some call it, that the things that were held with esteem and honor were those such as; writing, poetry, architecture, philosophy and the arts in general. Now it's money, power, who's ass you kiss, who kisses your ass, your degree and the fact you have to add M.S. before your name on a check, by the way, what the hell are those people thinking of, like I care you have a masters.

But it makes you wonder, why don't we honor those things that were once important anymore? Is it simply because it was more honored in Rome and other areas of europe and the U.S. don't give a shit as much? Is it because we've been taught that only presitge, and your place in society are all that matter? Hell, at one time poets, musicians, philosophers and artitsts were esteemed people compared to politicians or any others. Just makes you think sometimes that maybe we screwed up somewhere and that the U.S. maybe needs to take advice from others and have siesta time and make the things that really matter actually mean something. Just a thought.
