Why is it all better, because they want you to buy stuff,and throw out your old stuff even though it worked great. So you get rid of your fav shoes,and now have blisters and a lighter pocket book....work more,play less! But that high tech car w/onstar keeping you safe and yes trackable..by whom???? And get there, dont get lost and maybe meet someone cool because you need directions,or go off the direct road and find some amazing place you never would have guessed was ever there. And why own a car you can fix yourself that lasts forever, looser! Go out and put yourself in big debt and if for some reason you actually get title to that onstar car? Who can afford to even tune it up? Not you, you dont own a daignostic computer and high tech tools. So spend more money and get another and stay forever a slave to money, a slave to all the companies laughing at their big stock folios...but man you look cool,even if you can,t sleep at night because of the stress.Or break up with the love of your life because of the stress,or work work work,play less and let the stress build.All so you look cool, and someone is watching over you...oh yeah they are, bet they have your best interests in mind.Play into it....Enjoy...NOT.!...better yet,buy it all and drink plenty of grey goose and Heineken,just to numb it all away. If this sounds crazy.."they" got ya!.....let it go...you,ll be called a freak,a looser,but you,;; live and you,ll enjoy life,even work.

it’s easy to be negative and bitchy, and it’s very hard to be analytically precise with straightforward speech that bites to the core of the dysfunction.

you bit so deeply into the core that there’s a seed on your tooth.

our sport is driven by the pimps and hustlers. it’s another sad tale of american capitalistic excess run amok, but this time it’s our love- our soulful pastime that has been whored out. not the first time, not the last, and unfortunately one more in a line of many, but each one of us who really measures himself as a surfer should look at their role.

when you buy in, you sell out.

great piece, by the way. thanks again.
