I'm back after a long hiatus, and the reason I haven't been writing here is because, and this is going to sound so typical: I've been writing a novel. It's the hardest thing I've ever attempted, and its taking me way longer than I expected. But I really want to get back to this, so I am.
To celebrate, I'm putting a YouTube video of Winsor McKay's "Little Nemo" animation right here.
If you're reading this, thanks for listening.
I've been thinking about the billions of dollars given to the Haliburton Corporation, the billions of dollars spent on the war in Iraq, the record oil prices, the disregard for freedoms and enviroment that have been occuring and the countless deaths (30,000 - 600,000 casualties?) and I wonder:
What can you call a crime of this magnitude?
I mean, think about it. It's not genocide. Genocide is primarily motivated by ethnic rivalries or racism. Mass Murder? But what about the stealing, the rampant greed?
I think comic books might supply an answer here. What we are witnessing in the world today, the actions of corrupt politicians who have stolen elections, and pushed through their insane agenda is nothing less than...
Super-Villainy.
It's time for some Super-Heroics.
