Bread Making

There is something very thrilling about home-made bread (sans bread-machine). Hard crusty breads that crackle, and are free off all those nasty store-bought bread shit. Its rather cheap, much healthier and customizable. If our society wasn't so hell-bent on customizing their possessions maybe home-made endeavors would still retain their place in peoples hearts. Home crafting is becoming trendier, and so are such past times as jam making, bread baking, and gardening. However, these are still so niche oriented that it seems unlikely that the greater public participates in them. As the corporate world sponsors these trendier sub-cultures and consumes them, a new variation will replace them. I read this in some socio-economic trend study. I.E. as bop fades into popularity, greasers arise. Then this becomes profitable so the finger-snapping beatniks arrive. Soon after this becomes popular so the fame-crazed pop junkie becomes popular, and so on. (Obviously skipping over a few). So maybe if the right minds tricked their ways into consumerist american ruling parties they can begin to transform the base of society?

This is all pointless discussion. It all boggles down to childhood education. I am just struggling with my new participation in the corporate world. I see the validity of capitalism in the Rand sense, and struggle to combine it with my childhood anti-capitalism sentimentalities.

Off to read my new H.P. Lovecraft novela!
