More often than not you allow your reader further into who you are than many of us who know you get to see in person. There is nothing wrong with that either. Often, when I write, it is to gain a greater understanding of myself and the world around me. You are often the one of a very few who understands that. Next comment........ You really nailed MySpace and FaceBook on the head. A place where we can create ourselves to be what we think we should be or how the world should view us. But please remember that it is also a fun place to mess with people sometimes. It seems to me that many times your writing offers a doorway though your wall.

I also said to stock up on booze and smokes. That is because I have never met a hunter who at least did not drink. So I am willing to trade. Plus my homebrewing knowledge will keep me stocked on the beer end. So I will have something to trade with. As for who ends up ruling the world. The question is... Why would they want to deal with all the headaches that come the job? Who really wants to be in charge of this insane asylum of a world? Not me. I just want to write the story about it.

Why would they want to deal with all the headaches that come the job?

Who really wants to be in charge of this insane asylum of a world?

Not me.

I just want to write the story about it.

Let face it, you need some one who can shoot well, fish, hunt and of course steal; all without any moral objections. I guess the republicans will end up ruling the world after all, but then again, they may just end up shooting each other in the face.

We do need a protector. Sadly we can be our own protectors but many lack the willingness to do so. It is so much easier to rely on others and complain when they fail. Mike Foley,

And I realize that our society does need a "secret portector" to fight the "Crazies" who are out there. It seems like the current system just cannot handle the problem. Besides who wouldn't want to wear a cool outfit like Batman? Foley Mike

Why? Marketing! As a society we are duped by marketers who are bent on twisting the message to appeal to the most people vs. being truthful and honest and allowing people to choose openly and honestly to align with the product of service. Branding is only one mark of the marketing poison we are all being given everyday. Like you, I am tired of the addle-brained masses who are so easily confused and yet act on my behalf. Paris did make a little sense; the sun shines on a dog's ass sometimes. Mike Foley,
