Populations suffer from a fear of change, for their conditioning assumes a static identity. Challenging ones belief system usually results in insult and aprehension. Being wrong is eroniously associated with failure, when in fact to be proven wrong should be celebrated, for it elevates us to a new level of understanding. There is no such thing as a smart Human being, for it is merely a matter of time before their ideas are updated, changed or eradicated. This tendency to hold on to a belief system, any belief system and sheltering it from new possibly transforming information, is nothing less than intellectual materialism. Dominant World views operate with the same social irrelevancy, they exist as barriers to social and individual growth. Major institutions exist as barriers to personal and social growth for each group perpetuates a closed world view.

I never claimed to be any good at it, but there you have it.

"If it's not disclosed...you're being hosed." Who coined that phrase? Me, damnit! And it's still true.

"Into my heart an air that kills,From yon far country blows
What are those blue remembered hills,What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went and cannot come again."

Nothing I say is intended to be a factual statement.

Restoration, whether it be in comics, fine-art, coins, movie posters, vintage cars or any other form of "collectible"
should be defined by the same universal standards and not be situational. No less an authority as the International Institute of Conservation (IIC) has defined resteration as "any attempt to return an object to its original form and purpose, in an attempt to recreate an earlier known state or condition".
