=="Leaves of Grass" in popular culture / Breaking Bad== 
 Hello, Midnightdreary: 

 Would you please respond at ? 

 On 3 September, you "Removed as trivial, tangential, and unimportant to the legacy of Whitman or his book" my addition to the "In Leaves of Grass" article an "In popular culture" category and an entry for Breaking Bad, in particular the "Gliding Over All" episode. I beg to differ with your decision, my friend, and am restoring my post.  However out of sincere respect for you [you Whitman fan, you! ) ] and to avoid an edit war, I ask that you: (1) please consider my rationale, offered below, as well as (2) if you don't agree with me, please initiate a request for commentary at  or request some other sort of resolution involving third parties. 

 By way of rationale, I offer: 
 * Two relevant precedents - the "In popular culture" sections of "The Second Coming" (poem) - which poem, incidentally, served as the eponymous title of The Sopranos episode 6.19 - and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening" 
 * Links to relevant posts that illustrate popular recognition of this strong Breaking Bad - "Leaves of Grass" connection:  
 ** A discussion board post by Brandon Brummett, which responds to {{cite web|author=Dave Thier|journal=Forbes.com|date=12 September 2012|url=http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidthier/2012/09/02/breaking-bad-gliding-over-theres-no-redemption-for-walter-white/ |title=Breaking Bad "Gliding Over All:" There's No Redemption for Walter White|accessdate=10 September 2012} 

 ::I went back and watched season 3 ep 6 where walt first meets gale. Man Vince and the writers must have knew all along how Hank would find out because it is sorta foreshadowed in that episode. When Hank calls Walt and asks about Jesse and the RV he suspects Walt is shown sitting reading the Leaves of Grass book. It has a tight shot on the book, walt is smiling reading and then Hank calls. Then Jesse leads Hank to the RV with walt in there and it is soooo close to Hank discovering Walt way back then. That book has been significant now for 3 years now almost. Genius, Best show ever on television, cant name a better. 
 :: Justified is next best right now. 
 **There are so many others, I'll be lazy and just link the results of Googling "Breaking Bad Leaves of Grass" 
 * Data about what a huge cultural phenomenon Breaking Bad itself is, which fact renders the show's close associations with Walt Whitman and "Leaves of Grass" far more than "trivial, tangential, and unimportant to the legacy of Whitman or his book". For example, see: 
 ** "Gliding Over All" Reception, including the high ratings  
 ** The Breaking Bad article's intro paragraphs and Reception section  
 ** List of awards and nominations received by Breaking Bad 

 I look forward to your response (and those of other Wikipedians) to this same post at .
