Violence is exciting

NPR interviews this morning with two reporters who wrote about the carjack and shootout with the Boston bombing brothers. Such excitement in the questions and storytelling! They could have been discussing the latest Tom Cruise movie.

I think of some kid hearing this. How cool! I want to be in a shootout when I grow up!

We are our own worst enemies. No progress since Homer, why should anyone expect any?

Norman Brown nailed it. War is war perverted: the problem is not the war but the perversion. Literal meanings. Decline of Imagination. After Blake: the real fight, the mental fight. The Fiery Chariot of his Contemplative Thought. !!! Yes indeed, Brown nailed it.
