"Considering scholars, intellectuals, and historians can't even agree on the definition let alone the "lifestyle"... I'd say take up another hobby. "
I also identify with Dada's art and outlook on life - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dada
I spend time thinking about the institutions in existence and know that there is a better way. We need to tear down the existing structures and rebuild them from the grass roots. It is the current military industrial complex and big corp. greed that is killing everyone in the world. People around the world are just people and when left to their own devices just want to live and love. A new society needs to be formed or we are all condemned to a dark V-Orwellian-Huxley like future.
