It comes with the dominance held by language and culture in the 20th century, of course. I partly thought about the fact that once mythical (rare) albums (etc) now are available on Amazon in one click. The internet dispel illusions. Only our persons, in flesh, can compete with the internet (until human like robots at a reasonable price hits the market). <br /><br />Well, I meant Red Krayola. Never heard them before; grand sound.

I find it hard to comment on your poetry posts I'm afraid, I don't think I'm very good at interpreting them.<br /><br />It's very hard for me to comment on Great Britain, or at least whether the people are strange. Is Britain (or <em>was</em> Britain) a more mystical place than so many other countries? Britain held a dominant position as the modern world was coming into being - we probably peddled a few myths about ourselves.<br /><br />Personally I think it's unlikely that British people are any different from any other nationality. There's lots I like about Britain, but, naturally, I find other countries more intriguing, no matter how much I google them.Artoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846359529440273892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-80398806473322285182009-11-30T19:34:21.368+00:002009-11-30T19:34:21.368+00:00sic ANY not amysic ANY not amyAnders Enochssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971413442536196199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1820665525852614768.post-61986746368310476762009-11-30T19:31:19.698+00:002009-11-30T19:31:19.698+00:00Man, I loved them!

I guess Great Britan was hurt especially (as I child I was certain GB consisted of moors, strange people, castles and wonderful music). Now anyone can look it up on Google maps and buy it instantly. It's a problem, I guess we have to deal with it. Does AMY mystique withstand transparently? HmmAnders Enochssonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05971413442536196199noreply@blogger.com
