We Must Conclude That It

Writers And Politicians Are Natural Rivals. Both Groups Try To Make The World In Their Own Images; They Fight For The Same Territory.

Those Who Do Not Have Power Over The Story That Dominates Their Lives, Power To Retell It, To Rethink It, Deconstruct It, Joke About It, And Change It As Times Change, Truly Are Powerless, Because They Cannot Think New Thoughts.

In General, Writers Shouldn't Be Killed For What They Write, Though I Can Think Of Exceptions.

Even When Things Are At Their Worst, There's A Little Voice In Your Head Saying, 'good Story!'
