What Passes for Sovereignty In a Monoculture.

331.8 Pounds, a testament to what bloat can do to swing water-weight.

So, like me you probably have a McDonalds or a Taco Bell in your neighbourhood, drink carbonated beverages made by Coke or Pepsi, and generally don't have the energy to escape the subtle standard of imperialism as it pervades your life. And yet, advertisment supported media, available on that most global of mediums, the internet, is indifferently available to us. A small complaint, I suppose, save for the agressive defense of that media from other delivery sites means, that, for most people, some art must remain American, while we are still the wards of their commerce. It's the standard insensitivity of empire, and something truly minor I suppose, but it is the peculiar conceit of Americans that they are so commercially unique, when that is the true mark of what has made their empire's spread in the developed world so effective and remarkable. They believe in nation states that they dissolve. Just a strange thought for the day. Continue with your business.
