Destruction is not the point. The point is to make people think carefully about what is going around them, how they've been reacting to events around them.

I think it was Tom Robbins who wrote "the root of all depression is self-pity. Self-pity is caused by the inability to laugh at onesself."

Had a dream about Tennessee about a week ago. I was on a train, gliding slowly through a bog of long, brown dead prarie grass. From every tree hung multiple dead men. Took the train to a clear lake, where a man leaned down and whispered to a duckling, "Go faster." It sped off, and more and more ducklings, fowl, birds of all sorts took off to fly into the stars.

I was sleeping on someone else's couch. Do you have another's dreams on their sleep surface?

Got a flashback of all this while I was watching Brazil with Mav. Just sitting there, awkwardly, with the sound off.
