Finding Justification, in Money

There was a pool player on ESPN the other night (although he lost and was forced out of the tournament) that said he was happy. He didn't have much money, but he was making a living playing pool, his favorite game and playing golf. What I want to know is, what exactly does a CEO do? If the Republican party is the party of choice and power at the moment, then I want a little lecture on what SPECIFICALLY young Americans should aspire to do. I need a reinforcement of purpose in American society. If CEO's deserve billions of dollars, then it shouldn't be too quirky to have a little look see at exactly what they do. Is it business, as an MBA in college? Do you get a business degree? Do you learn investments? Do you learn to lobby or how to bribe public officials? Do you learn how to screw and then murder your aids? Maybe you just dupe your shareholders and then die of a heart attack before you are really punished for your crime. Do you get a blowjob in the White House? Do you have sex with a prostitute and dump her in a creek? Do you get to have sex with Marilyn Monroe? I'm not sure anymore. I chose the field of music, and when I look at America today, i.e. the newspapers, television, radio, film, I see nothing much that represents what I have been trained for. (sorry to end with a preposition) I have to tell me self, remind myself as in my previous post, my musical knowledge is academic man. "It's academic." That usually is a good thing, except for when you are trying to remember who you are in Fayettenam. Does serious music study have relevance in today's world. It's hard to see, isn't it? If it doesn't, what does? Google? Oh, software. A search engine. Searching porn sites for free pictures. It is certainly not reporting of the news, because the Reuters Hourly News Summary has disappeared from sight. It used to be this little updated page could tell you all you needed to know about world news. Now it is hidden. AOL news used to be the second best source of news, but I can't afford a "pay" internet service. Oh, cars. That must be it. Shiny metallic marbles rolling down the street with Amityville Horror taillights. Or is it Harley's, American Chopper inspired noise mobiles? No one seems to know. It is obvious the "mainstream" has been lost because there is no mainstream. Are we supposed to be an Arion Nation? Are we supposed to be a melting pot of hope and prosperity? Are we supposed to be an urban ghetto of Crank? What are we? What is America? Anyone care to chime in? It might be nice to have a politician come in and give it a whirl, not a twirl.
