Franklin as PT Barnum?  Mobility as suckers (or, worse, cattle)?  Very 
Machiavellian, no?  But, as Terrance would point out, the underlying 
desirous power is miraculous, and thus Religious.  This desire for divine 
revelation is most definitely a yearning in Pynchon's fictional world, and 
it seems connected with a desire to be submissive.

Fuck me God,
Love,
