Seeking the floating world
I belong to a select fraternity of fools who believe it is possible to escape this world while yet living in it.

The Path of Least Resistance ....
It is easier to obey power than to oppose it. Thus we tell ourselves, and teach our children, that obedience is a virtue and that those in power have our best interests at heart.

Purpose
Capitalism is a wonderful thing. Making money is an admirable skill. Everybody's gotta eat. But these things are means to an end. They are not an end in themselves. At the end of the day we wish to change the world, not merely sell it something.

Fortune Teller
She reads fortunes with Tarot cards. People go to her, and she tells them about themselves; things they thought no one else knew; things they didn't know about themselves. She shows them themselves, in ways they have never thought of. She shows them their same old selves, but in a different light. It's like seeing the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle magically arranged to make a picture completely different than the one on the box.
After they leave, a lot of these people buy a deck of Tarot cards, thinking they will read them for themselves. They think that they will tell their own fortunes. They think that what they have experienced, what they have been shown, is in the cards. It's not. The magic is in her, not in the cards. The cards are only a lens. She is the light.

Watchmen Movie Trailer
This book rocks! I read the comics when they were first published back in the 1980's.
I do have a few quibbles with the trailer, mostly the way they did Rorschach's voice. But overall, if the movie lives up to Moore and Gibbons's work, it will be a great show.
enjoy -
