There's a PBS program on looking back on the great American Jewish music composers and of NYC's "Broadway" and the famed American Musicals they went on to create. pbs.org
Its not just that the most popular Christmas song ever writtten "White Christmas" was penned by these Jewish fellows , every taboo subject was eventually explored thru these creative productions of storytelling & musical journeys that had some of the most profound effects globally for change, touching the hearts of millions back then. Not to mention the satire & comedy but profound love these men had for the freedom & homes they found in this democracy.
We often forget the power of ART which is as often as great or even greater than Science & Religion, when we combine all three with the fourth expression of human intellect = Philosophy, then there's really hope. But people have to pick up a book sometime other than these ancient "scriptures" who have been so indoctrinated to believe 3000yr old goatherders had more of a clear view of things, which is of course absolute nonsense & rediculous.(most were madmen anyways)
ART SCIENCE RELIGION PHILOSOPHY....these are the big "4" when it comes to completing realm and fullfilling a rounded human intellect. No one of these stands by itself ever, not in this universe anyways.
In America there's watered down Religion incestuously tied to Politics, Baseball scores, Nascar, Shopping & Consuming, Basketball & Golf, Escapism & Games (and more sports) , Medications & Pain killers, and more obesity than any other part of the world. And they'll try to make a pill for that too! ;o)
