POPSOct.29, 2008 Obama: "One Week Until We Change America" If Obama were merely talking about changing our priorities, or changing our politics, or changing direction, he would stick to saying those things. But to speak of changing America is going not to a tailor but a surgeon, expressing a desire for an alteration not to the clothes, but to the wearer. Taken with recent revelations about Obama's desire to redistribute wealth, it becomes pretty obvious that, as is a defining characteristic of liberals, he wants to throw away the baby with the bathwater and do away with the economic system that made America the most powerful country in the world, replacing it with a system that purports ensure social and economic justice. w/t Mona Charen, and Terrestrial Musings agrees.

POPSBruce Eisner's Writings-Why we get High One problem can be the difference between wanting to get 'High', and preferring to be high. The more accustomed to an alternate reality we are the harder it is to deal with the here and now if the means of achieving that 'high' is removed. Then there is the philosophical aspect One man's dream or nightmare is another man's reality.

POPSCrossover fun in the Wold Newton Universe Like fiction? Like alternate reality? Like thinking about Buffy Summers being descended from a line of superhumans? Read within... for a "theory of everything" as it applies to heroic (and apparently, villainous) characters.
