When interpreters of culture discuss postmodern strategies or features in architecture, literature, philosophy, and the arts, this usually includes uses of irony, parody, sampling, mixing "high" and "low" (popular) cultural sources, horizontal vs. vertical analysis, and mixing historical and cultural sources and styles.
Fame is not flattery. Respect is not agreement.

Re: Who Killed the Left?
I received an email from the CCDCC (Clark County Democrats Campaign Committee) that significantly narrowed the options of Democrats, at least locally where I live. I have actually heard local Progressives use the acronym DINO, and now that seems to imply Democrats who are not Progressives. The following was my response:
To whom it may concern;
I'm a Democrat, in fact, I have been a State Democratic candidate, and will be again. However, I am unclear when Democrats adopted "ensuring a progressive future" as part of the Party Platform. If someone there could help point me to this plank, I would like to review what that means for me since progressivism in the modern sense is Collectivism, and not all Democrats are Progressives, for example, I'm a Liberal.
Sincerely,
Martin Hash
