The Daisy Chain: Fuckin and being fucked. Mostly in the world of V. it's a
coorperative transaction, although it's most always a union of disparate
levels of power. It's all about getting "needs" met and paying the bills.
In some ways it's about the survival of the self in a hostile world. The
wind is always blowing. We all seek the levels of protection we can afford.
The Daisy Chain is all about human interaction, but not between "equals."
It's between the Haves and Have Nots. Stencil's impersonations clearly
expose the dehumanizing nature of this economic reality.
The Fucked quickly become objects, fetishes, consumable products. But for
some, like Stencil and like others who've enslaved themselves willingly to a
cause, become "public servants" and living Saints, the loss of humanity is
chosen for the good of others.
That's all my ramling for the night,
David Morris
