So did much of the symphonic "movie music" that grew directly out of the European Classical, Romantic and Impressionistic tradition.<br /><br />In order to appreciate satire we must first appreciate the subject being satirized. Because we have been systematically "Dumbed Down" we no longer seem able to see the light, funny, charming, affectionate aspects of the phenomena with which we are forced to live.<br /><br />A pity, BUT rather than submit and succumb tomato as an inevitability, think it should be fought tooth and nail.<br /><br />Underneath the wreckage we've made of our Civilization, the Human Spirit, which is forever animated by the HOLY Spirit, is alive, well, and dauntless as ever.
