Re: This is the kind of thing that freaks me out

ZOMG! Inorite?!?!

That *feels *portentious, and I totally feel the swirl and weight of
sympathetic events in my own awareness on a regular basis. With that said,
I've long made peace with the idea that's just my author's mind sorting
through all available data and throwing things together in a way that *suggests
*meaning but is, in reality, just shadow patterns with no real framework
behind it. (G.K. Chesterton correctly identified such things as a spiritual
pun.)

(wrt HTTM, I really like John Cusack and Steven Pink, even though it's
mostly just good will bleeding over from my great affection for Grosse Point
Blank. If I'd seen War, Inc. or HTTM before GPB, I'd like have a much
different opinion. As it is, I cut Cusack a /lot/ of slack.)
