I'm Responding To The Will

We Live In Oppressive Times. We Have, As A Nation, Become Our Own Thought Police; But Instead Of Calling The Process By Which We Limit Our Expression Of Dissent And Wonder ‘censorship,’ We Call It ‘concern For Commercial Viability.

Consider: For All The Gobbledegook [film Studio] Executives Spout About Backstory, All That We, The Audience, Want To Know Is What Happens Next. That's The Only Thing That's Going On. . . .

A Dramatic Experience Concerned With The Mundane May Inform But It Cannot Release; And One Concerned Essentially With The Aesthetic Politics Of Its Creators May Divert Or Anger, But It Cannot Enlighten.

I'm Entitled To My Political Opinions, And I Get To Vote Because I'm An American.

The Honest Man Might Observe... That No One Gets Something For Nothing; That Politicians Go In Poor And Go Out Rich; That The Government Screws Up Everything It Touches; And That The Will To Believe Is Best Confined To The Religious Venue, As To Practice It Elsewhere Is Just Too Damned Expensive.
