Never one to appreciate a good joke, and if we follow the argument that literature (in this case, jokes) reflect a society, I have to say that it looks to me like there's a definite dis-integration between impulses here. Extreme evil versus extreme childlikeness. Definitely cute, but reflecting something unbalanced in my opinion. There are no adults. When push comes to shove, which side do you think will dominate? Regarding the comfy chair, that might be why you support war. It's just not real. The pain, death, destruction, chaos aren't real. You carry on about 9/11, but everywhere else, similar events or worse events are a misunderstanding. It's not real, so bring it on *over there*, just keep Eric safe. The gaia principle I think says that if you hurt one part of the body, the entire body hurts. Likewise, if you hurt one part of the world, the entire world hurts. In neocon macho terms, eventually the flypaper will lose its stickiness. I gotta go.
