Mishmash Manifesto

The unfortunate Professor Qui was "bombarded" by a "garbled personal philosophy which seemed to be a mishmash of Fidel Castro, religion according to Dr. Bronner’s castile soap, and Garveyism." This lead me to wonder how my own personal philosophy might look mishmash style.

Would it be:

A) A tossed salad of Noam Chomsky, the Girl Scout Pledge, and "Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown"?

B) A cacophony of The Jackson Five's "ABC," The Police's "Spirits in the Material World" and the jingle from the Honey Hill Bunch collectible doll commercial, performed by Elvis Costello?

C) A montage of Star Wars, the back of a box of Nature Valley Granola circa 1977, and a half-read excerpt from The Souls of Black Folk?

D) Bill Moyers Special and Fat Albert lunchbox stew with a pinch of Barthes?

E) A slurpee of Toni Morrison guest starring in an episode of Star Trek, Next Generation?

The thing is, it's hard to trace the roots of my core beliefs.
