Shame?!
Forethought?
Because money-grubbing multinational conglomerates named Hachette, Bertlesmann, et al,are the proper custodians of culture?
Beg to differ.
The only proper custodians of living, breathing, dynamic cultures are the citizens that live it.
They are the ones who inherit it, shape it, and pass it on.
Healthy cultures are alive, proud, ever-changing, and not for sale by anybody.
Strong healthy cultures are not afraid of the ideas, stories, or rhythms of anybody.
Strong healthy cultures don't need protecting.
Anybody who says otherwise is just looking to pad their wallets at the expense of the unwary.
Or their unwitting accomplices.
