Pynchon's Badass

[David Morris]

After a bit more thought I believe I understand your point, at least in 
part.  You are saying that to W/B there is no other cycle.  He doesn't even 
see a Natural Cycle against his own/Theirs.  I might agree with this, but I 
wouldn't call it a fascist thing.  This is just the way W/B percieves the 
real world to be, and in a way common to Their people, just much more 
intensely felt by W/B.
