Tomorrow’s Bachelor Party departure time was a misdirection. Heading to airport now. Still no clue where I’m going. And so it begins…
I SPENT THE LAST TWO DAYS PUTTING THIS IN MY BRAIN…AND I’M GLAD I DID
I am not a political guy. Don’t claim to be, don’t really want to be. I understand enough to make an informed decision when I have the opportunity to make a decision and that’s pretty much where my politics begin and end. That said, I’m VERY good at being a human being and that’s why I extrasuperenjoyed (real word in my brain) recently rereading Top Cow’s Rising Stars Compendium. J. Michael Straczynski et al. comicbookify (also a real word in my brain) JFK’s classic “Ask not what your country can do for you…ask what you can do for your country” by changing it to “Ask not what your country can do for you OR what you can do for your country…ask what you can do for your world if you were granted special abilities by a giant ball of energy hitting the planet while you were nestled safely inside your mom’s womb or at that very moment traveling out of your daddy’s manpart and into your mommy’s ladypart”.
Sure, this book has a government torn apart by political agendas that do everything but serve the people said government represents (sound familiar?), wars being fought over a border drawn on a map a LONNNG time ago (sound familiar?) and crimes committed against a group just because they’re different (sound familiar?), but this book ain’t about politics. At its core this book is about what it’s like to be a human being, comicbookified or otherwise, and that’s why I dug it so much.
