It was only a matter of time really but, still, weird.
The highest form of literary subtlety, in a corrupt social order, is to tell the plain truth-- Edward Abbey
Carl Jung, who pioneered our understanding of the subconscious, wrote that when humans are unaware of their "inner contradictions, the world must perforce act out the conflict and be torn into opposite halves." We externalize the side of us that we do not want to own. We look for scapegoats. Instead of getting upset about the possibility that humanity's present course could end civilization as we know it, we get angry with those who name the problems.—Julene Bair
"The basis for optimism is sheer terror." – Oscar Wilde
Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness. . .
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.
- Emily Dickenson

THis Second Life is popping up all over the place: >>Several weeks ago, Le Pen's Front National was the first European party to establish a headquarters inside the popular "Second Life" online virtual world. This brought a virtual protest outside the virtual headquarters, with virtual placards, and some participants throwing (virtual) exploding pigs. One protester, Ichi Jaehun, told James Au of New World Notes, which reports on Second Life, that "this nationalist idea that Front National is advocating is something that has spread all over Europe like a virus."<< link
