    Great post Sean! I think this could be a really great series. I hope that you will be able to find more great artists to interview.

    Brandon your responses are awesome. I really hope you become a contributor on our site someday soon. Let one of us know if you're interested.

    This article really inspires me to get out there and interview Rochesterians one-on-one about other issues. Great idea Sean -- it's your best post yet.

    You tell it, Bushido! We need to start making those who govern accountable for their actions, whether it's part of some larger conspiracy or politicians are just plain dumb-asses.

    "Honestly, with the US’ capability, it doesn’t matter, it can prosper under any standard, it just has to consider the masses."

    That should be part of a song, if it isn't already.

    Great idea, Sean--I can't wait to see more from other artists!

    Hope you can contribute more sometime Brandon! :)

    One question I have for you Bushido.
    How can America prosper under any standard? It obviously has not prospered under the "fiat" paper currency that has only led to an astounding $53 trillion in extended debts over time. Money is created by credit cards, debt, etc. Why doesn't gold matter? It's $943 an ounce. That doesn't matter to you? The government could give a fuck less about the masses. That's why we still have low class jobs.

    I'm putting you on blast to make you think man. It's because our system of money right now is just not working plain and simple. Why not change it? Why not go back to something that has value like gold or silver? I'd rather have kids in life that could be able to pay for college without debt and loans wouldn't you?

    what do you mean by low-class jobs?

    I'm always a little weary of that word "class."

    Some would say a garbage man is technically more useful to society than the president of a company...even though they belong to two different classes?

    What I mean about that is that people in low class jobs can get stuck in them. The education level is not needed as much and our government needs these people without education for it to continue to prosper or fall. Now a garbage man may be more useful than a president of a company but is he smarter than the president of the company?

    Which is our ever ending problem of getting poorer people into college. What we don't usually take into recognition is that we like the under educated because they deliver us at Home Depot, Wal-Mart, the Dollar Store, McDonald's, etc. If all of those people got educated all of a sudden then what would happen to big business?
