The "Golden...Sorry for the delay; been busy.<br /><br />The "Golden Slumbers" trap is something that I really do like, even thought it does seem a bit Blacky Mercy-ish...I mean, the first thought is "oh God, who wants to see the superhero choose responsibility over ease again?", but the <i>second</i> thought is that to have to do it again and again, and better and better each time, could be some damn fertile ground...because, <i>must</i> the choice always be between ease and responsibility? For Superman, okay...for Batman, okay, but for Mister Miracle (and probably you and me, too) "responsibility" just isn't that big a draw, is it? I know <i>I'm</i> no Eagle Scout, <i>I'm</i> not in pursuit of a return to the status quo, and I certainly know that one day I'll have to let responsibility slip from my fingers anyhow...so a choice between pleasure and doing good isn't really much of a trap either way, really. However if that choice didn't automatically guide you back to real life every time, then you'd have to find some other reason to prefer it, and that <i>does</i> interest me.<br /><br />Very much in an appropriate vein, this.plokhttp://circumstantial.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
