That Playboy nonsense

What really baffles my mind is that you people attack each other and
everything at the slightest provocation. Is this really how you approach
the written language? I would suggest trying so empathise with the
author (of any literature be it electronic or printed), in which case
you would begin to understand the work on a subjective level instead of
all the pseudo-academic-referenced-psycho-babble that has been clogging
up my Inbox for weeks now. Analyse the Script don't Judge it! What
Pynchon and David Lynch and all your other Esteemed artists are trying
to say is that no man acts alone. There are forces beyond our
understanding that control our futures and destiny. Maybe there never
was a Bin Laden. Maybe never in the real sense as our perceived sense of
CNN would like us to believe. I could go on forever here, but hey, I'd
rather write a book about it and call it Gravity's Rainbow - The Bush
Years. Anyone in this esteemed literary circle ever see a David Mamet
movie called: "Wag The Dog"?
Really. This Doug and Barbara thing is infantile. If you were writing a
novel (and BTW this is exactly what all of us on the web are creating
together- one huge novel) - would this be your choice of contribution.
There are many choices and many realities. I like to keep mine sane.
Will we get back to the TRUE TEXT or do I need to unsubscribe?
