The Salesman: a Situationist Man in a Suitcase

"Various writers, actors, musicians, artists and politicians, for instance, are almost without exception sick people/ And what are they suffering from? First of all from an extraordinary opinion of themselves, then from requirements, and then from considering, that is, being ready and prepared beforehand to take offense at lack of understanding and lack of appreciation... simply being unwilling to restrain him [or her] self."

G.I. Gurdjieff.

In a world where an insincere smirk and an ability to replicate other people's ideas are the only qualifications anyone needs to succeed in their chosen field

In a world where only those commited to self gratification, self fulfilment and self publicity are rewarded

In a world where consumerism is the cure for all ills

In a world where only the ignorant have any rights

In a world where physical wealth is more important than mental well being.

In a world where we justify mass murder in the name of God, whilst proclaiming God creator of life.

In a world where we frown upon any form of conviction or desire to learn

In a world where we are not permitted control of our own bodies, our own thoughts

In a world where sexuality can be perceived as a sickness

In a world of one form of education for the rich, and one for the poor

In a world of one form of medical help for the rich, and one for the poor

In a world where we place the importance of mindless, personality free 'stars' above our own

In a world where product is all

In a world with no change in sight

In a world like a sinking ship

In a world where we deify the ignorant, the greedy, the selfish, the vaccuous, the cynical, the cruel

Live on TOTP, Kylie tears of her face to reveal that she has been Cher all along... and everyone cheers.
