Hey, you know  comedies and tragedies and satires, and that last one,
the satire, is what you are pointing to here, Mark, I find great
readings from the satire side, and, like, I love The Simpsons, but
here I am thinking that  even James is not Radical Enough in his
Radical Empericism, but Emerson, who, kinda like The Pynchons, begins
at Church and has the quirkiness, the rugged Ruggles mindedness to,
like Whitman, with contradictions of the self, in the Simpsons
episode,  follow Yogi Berra and the Beatles to India, where, the Hindu
texts are, and in terms of cause and effect, where Within You Without
You ...& Love with our Love ....
