What's so silly about his Violence Theme Parks Business Plan? Hell, I-24
is an intelligent, articulate, savvy, and sensitive young man. Zoyd only
objects to it because he's stupid, Tubed out and Burnt out and he
doesn't really understand it. He thinks that he would need put up his
house (give the bank a Mortgage) to secure credit. But, as Prairie and
I-24 remind him, he's a local businessman. Zoyd doesn't really
understand anything he's doing, had done or failed to do. I-24's
Business Plan is first rate. And, the imploding Tubes isn't nearly as
violent as what Zoyd plans to do or what Frenesi did or what DL did or
what the Thanatoids and that entire generation of assholes finds so
funny--monkey meat loaf in the grave and what's worse of course, their
need for revenge, the inability to forgive.  I-24 and Prairie are smart
kids. The kid talks business and music with skill. He's sensitive,
realizing that the the fake Italian accents are offensive. But Zoyd has
him out trying to buy assault rifles to take on Brock Vond and his army.
TOOO BAD! What a great kid. And you judged him by one line of coke. So
what, he's got big hands. You know what they say about brothers with big
hands, right? They need big gloves. I-24 is good to Prairie and she's
good to him. All that gender politics is satirized. Sisterhoods ass.
