“ ” What's great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you know that the President drinks Coca-Cola, Liz Taylor drinks Coca-Cola, and just think, you can drink Coca-Cola, too. A Coke is a Coke and no amount of money can get you a better Coke than the one the bum on the corner is drinking. All the bums knows it, and you know it. [30] [30]

Silk Screen Process A mesh cloth is used to transfer ink except in areas made impermeable to the ink by a blocking stencil. A blade or squeegee is moved across the screen to fill the open mesh apertures with ink, and a reverse stroke then causes the screen to touch the substrate momentarily along a line of contact. This causes the ink to wet the substrate and be pulled out of the mesh apertures as the screen springs back after the blade has passed. http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=andy+warhol+Silk+screen+process&view=detail&&&m id=00198246011D8B250C7300198246011D8B250C73&rvsmid=00198246011D8B250C7300198246 011D8B250C73#view=detail&mid=00198246011D8B250C7300198246011D8B250C73 http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=andy+warhol+Silk+screen+process&view=detail&&&m id=00198246011D8B250C7300198246011D8B250C73&rvsmid=00198246011D8B250C7300198246 011D8B250C73#view=detail&mid=00198246011D8B250C7300198246011D8B250C73 http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=andy+warhol+Silk+screen+process&view=detail&&&m id=9DDAF152620AAB62FB079DDAF152620AAB62FB07&rvsmid=9DDAF152620AAB62FB079DDAF1 52620AAB62FB07#view=detail&mid=9DDAF152620AAB62FB079DDAF152620AAB62FB07
