Eternal Champion I want my mommy. Hope you enjoyed that. Tall, handsome hero and short, disfigured sidekick appear on a dark, morbid, gothic, phantasmagorical, weird, brooding, foreboding planet. Hero gets hold of a nasty weapon. Hero kicks ass all over the planet.
Planet blows up.
Brazil may have the lead in clear-cutting, but the USA is up there in toxic waste. They're just like us. Emphasizing a lifestyle based on consumption is the ultimate violence against poor countries. I'm not done. Reminding myself about that reminded me of a related thought I'd had some time before, having to do with global economics, the price of consumer goods, and a statement by a professor in my first-year anthropology course which I found very hard to accept.
