Even though it's a bit of a struggle for me to relate spiritually esoteric relevance to a movie psychopath quoting scripture, especially from the Old Testament, I totally understand the wretched context and accept the challenge. The movie is brilliant in its depiction of violent and interwoven victimate. Ultimately, like that word, obsolete. The projection of retribution should be a bit more of an elegant suggestion if virtue is already a lost cause, so as to relate to the most base instincts and desires. If those instincts are rotten it won't be so difficult to treat the desire to dispatch with dispatch.

As an aside, the ancient Ammonites referred to by Ezekiel were reputed to be regularly engaged in sacrificing children, so there you have it...

Frustrating for sure, but only on the survival level of existence.
Notions of comfort aside, indifference won't survive. Nor will evil men.
âRepublics never survive, for their people do not like freedom but prefer to be led and guided and flattered and seduced into slavery by a benevolent, or not so, benevolent despot. They want to worship Caesar. So, American republicanism will inevitably die and become a democracy, and then decline, as Aristotle said into a despotism.â
âIt is a stern fact of history that no nation that rushed to the abyss ever turned back. Not ever, in the long history of the world. We are now on the edge of the abyss. Can we, for the first time in history, turn back? It is up to you."
âMankind adores its betrayers, and murders its saviors.â
Everywhere I go, I see all kinds of people at my shows - conservatives, liberals, new-agers, teen-agers, old pensioners. And for those people to have something in common is real interesting to me.
Everyone has a responsibility to not only tolerate another person's point of view, but also to accept it eagerly as a challenge to your own understanding. And express those challenges in terms of serving other people.
The death of what's dead is the birth of what's living. Arlo Guthrie
