BTZ42 Scene 17 chance

[Mark Kohut]

In this paradoxical phase, each firebloom, with blast, then sound is a mockery of the reversible process....
" with each one the Lord further legitimizes his State"....pretty direct linking of Christian belief w war, with the meaning of the State....
Then " we who cannot find find him, even to see" ......think of death no more often....call it " chance" ---cue Monte for CHANCE AND NECESSITY riff allusion--
" Or we have been persuaded"---[cultural conditioning].... But
" There do exist levels where chance is hardly recognized at all"....see Roger Mexico's profession where it can ALL be statistically plotted. 
ALL.
